At 41, Michael Carrick is about to become the head coach of Middlesbrough, current 20th in the Championship, in the English second division. First a player (2006-2018) then a member of the Manchester United staff (2018-2021), the former midfielder with 481 Premier League games should take the reins of the North East England club.
