Michael Carrick has been dismissed as Middlesbrough's head coach after the club failed to secure a play-off spot in the 2024/25 Championship season. The former Manchester United midfielder had been in charge since October 2022 and initially led the team to the play-offs in the 2022/23 campaign. However, Middlesbrough missed out on a top-six finish in the last two seasons, finishing 10th this year, four points off the play-off places.
