Manchester United continue search for long-term head coach despite Carrick appointment

Manchester United remain in the market for a permanent head coach despite the recent appointment of Michael Carrick, as the club’s hierarchy continues to evaluate long-term options for the role.

According to Idman.Biz, citing Daily Mail, Marseille head coach Roberto De Zerbi is considered one of the leading candidates. The Italian specialist has drawn attention through his work at Brighton and Marseille, building a reputation as a tactically flexible coach with experience in top European leagues, which makes him an appealing option for the Red Devils.

De Zerbi is not the only name under consideration. The shortlist also includes managers with Premier League and international experience, such as Oliver Glasner, Marco Silva and Andoni Iraola. In addition, it is noted that after the World Cup the market could feature high-profile coaches including Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino and Carlo Ancelotti.
