Wolves are considering appointing former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick to replace the recently sacked Vitor Pereira.
A draw against Brighton was the final straw for Pereira, after which the club decided to fire him on Sunday.
The dismissal comes as no surprise given the club’s poor form, which has yet to win a single Premier League match this season, drawing two and losing eight.
The club are 20th in the table with just two points in ten games and will need to find a replacement, someone who can get them out of the relegation zone and keep them safe for this season.
Michael Carrick is being considered for the Wolves job
According to The AthleticsSeveral names are being considered, with former Wolves manager Gary O’Neil among the top candidates.
After being sacked just a year ago, he has now been linked with a shock return to the club to guide them out of their current low.
Other names mentioned in the report include Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards, who made his name with his impressive job at Luton, and former Middlesbrough manager Carrick.
The report claims that the former Manchester United man is someone who is being discussed internally by the club and remains a potential candidate for the job.
He has also recently been linked with a return to Old Trafford, with reports suggesting Carrick could be tempted by the Manchester United job.
Michael Carrick’s impressive job at Middlesbrough
Michael Carrick retired in 2018 and quickly made the move into coaching, taking on a role as assistant manager at Manchester United under Jose Mourinho and then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
He was then given the opportunity to manage Man United as the club’s caretaker manager in November 2021, following Solskjaer’s sacking.
Carrick managed to win three matches and remained undefeated in all three. He won two and drew one.
| Date | Competition | They will resist | Home/Away | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 23, 2021 | UEFA Champions League – Group Stage | Villarréal CF | Away | W2–0 |
| November 29, 2021 | Premier League | Chelsea F.C | Away | D 1–1 |
| December 2, 2021 | Premier League | Arsenal F.C | At home | W3–2 |
The arrival of Ralf Rangnick saw Carrick leave the club, but his successful spell served as a springboard for his managerial career as he landed his first regular role at Middlesbrough.
The 44-year-old took over a club that was 21st in the Championship and facing a potential relegation battle. He made an immediate impact and transformed the team into an attractive, possession-based side.
Under Carrick, Middlesbrough’s form improved dramatically, climbing from near bottom of the table to secure a play-off spot by the end of the 2022/2023 season.
His record included 18 wins in 30 games, demonstrating a remarkable turnaround in points per game average.
