Michael Carrick says Middlesbrough have made a 'statement' by handing him a new three-year contract.
Carrick's first full season as coach did not go as well as 2022-23 did, missing out on another Championship play-off campaign despite a strong finish to the season. But where other chairmen would panic, Boro's Steve Gibson is known for supporting managers, and Carrick is delighted at the show of trust his new deal represents. 'I’m really happy about it,' said the former West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and England midfielder.
“It feels like a big step as a headline, as a statement, but really it doesn’t change anything I do or how I approach it, it just carries on what we’re trying to achieve.” One defeat in their last 12 matches saw Boro finish eight in the Championship in a season which, in common with many others, was badly blighted by injury. They also reached the semi-final of the League Cup. Carrick took over at Boro in October 2022 after the sacking of Chris Wilder.
