Manchester United played perhaps some of the most entertaining football of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge.
And the Norwegian had the results to back up that claim: the Red Devils finished third and second in the Premier League, while also reaching the final of the Europa League.
The Treble winner had a great coaching team of Kieran McKenna and club legend Michael Carrick supporting him.
And both coaches have done great things since leaving Old Trafford. Mckenna is currently boss of Ipswich Town and guided them to the Premier League two seasons ago.
Michael Carrick: Coaching CV
As things stand, they could return to the English top flight next season.
As for the former midfielder, under him Middlesbrough made the Championship play-offs, narrowly losing the semi-finals, and the EFL Cup semi-finals the following season.
He even had a three-match spell in interim charge of the 20-time English league champions, winning two while drawing one as he steadied the ship after Solskjaer’s sacking.
The ex-England international has opted to bide his time rather than rush back into leadership, but he is set to return to a former club of his.
Michael Carrick linked with return to former home
According to Talking sportWest Ham United, who are languishing in the relegation zone, have sounded out the former Hammer for the top job if they decide to pull the plug on Nuno Espirito Santo.
“Owner David Sullivan has not been convinced by the performances since Nuno was appointed to replace Graham Potter as manager.
“Sullivan actively explored the possibility of hiring fan favorite Bilic for a second time when Potter was sacked before being persuaded by his fellow board members to appoint Nuno.
“talkSPORT also understands that another former Hammer, Michael Carrick, would be high on the list to replace the Portuguese at the London Stadium and has been sounded out.”
