Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick leaves club
Middlesbrough has confirmed head coach Michael Carrick has left the club. The former Manchester United midfielder was the longest serving manager in the Championship, having replaced Chris Wilder in October 2022. He took the club to the play-offs in his first season despite being just one point above the relegation zone when he took charge. However, he was unable to repeat the success, finishing 8th and 10th in the following seasons respectively. He also led the club to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup in 2024. The 43-year-old's final game in charge was a 2-0 defeat to Coventry City on the final day of the Championship season. It followed a run of just one win in six games, which resulted in the club missing out on the top six and ended their hopes of returning to the Premier League. He had two years left to run on his contract, which he signed at the end of last season. Carrick's assistants Jonathan Woodgate and his brother Graeme Carrick will also leave the club. In a statement, Middlesbrough said: "We'd like thank Michael, Jonathan, and Graeme for all their hard work and unwavering commitment. We wish them all the very best for the future.

Wilder criticism is unfair - there's nobody better
I did the thing you're not supposed to do on Sunday. I went on an internet chat forum to gauge fan as with social media, are often a place to vent and let off steam. You can't judge the thoughts of an entire fan base off a few spicy comments online. However, it is at least worth having a glance to see what's being said sometimes – even if it makes for unpleasant viewing for yours truly and my esteemed colleagues from the world of local reaction to the play-off defeat against Sunderland was not kind to manager Chris Wilder. That's the mild, family friendly isn't right. It isn't fair. It needs to be challenged. So here goes…Sheffield United won 92 points this season, a club record. In the last 10 years, that would've been enough to go up automatically eight Blades equalled a run of away wins this season dating back to the late started the summer staring at a major rebuild of the squad. They smartly used the sale of players like Will Osula to bring in key additions. Michael Cooper and Harrison Burrows weren't mega-money splashes. They were sensational, astute tapped into the club's academy, giving talented young players a chance to become household who were figures of a fun the season before, like Vini Souza, became fan favourites under Wilder's had to handle crushing injuries to Harry Souttar and Ollie Arblaster, the latter being replaced by another talented academy prospect in Sydie club also had a lengthy ownership saga going on in the background, creating uncertainty. Then there was the crushing tragedy of George Baldock's death which impacted everyone associated with Sheffield all of this, and it would consume many other managers and clubs, United were 15 minutes from the Premier wasn't a failure. This wasn't an effort worthy of online rants, undermining the manager, claiming he doesn't know what he was doing. What total and utter abject was one of Wilder's best efforts in a long, successful career. Sunderland, to their credit, and roared on by a fantastic crowd at Wembley, snatched promotion away with two excellent goals. That's is United's best ever boss. This isn't to undermine the brilliant work of Dave Bassett but the game's changed. Football has never been more challenging or dominated by money. A manager's job is harder than it was 30 years ago. Considerably so, in my in defeat, Wilder should be praised. There's nobody better to get things going again next season.
