Michael Carrick is apparently in the running to take over as the new boss at Rangers after Steven Gerrard said nope to a comeback at his previous club. The word on the street is that the former Manchester United star, who is 44 years young, has been chilling out since getting the boot from Middlesbrough back in June. Seems like Carrick might be trading in his relaxing days for a shot at coaching the Scottish giants. And hey, why not, right?
The Gers recently gave Russell Martin the boot after a measly 123 days in charge, where he only managed to snag one win out of seven league games. Not the best track record, if you ask me. So now, the big dogs at Rangers are mulling over some potential replacements, with Carrick’s name popping up alongside other coaching hotshots like Danny Rohl, Kieran McKenna, and Ralph Hasenhuttl. But hold up, it looks like Gary O’Neil and Graham Potter are out of the running for now, despite their free agent status. Tough luck, fellas.
There were talks between Rangers and Gerrard about a possible reunion, but it seems like Stevie G had to pass on the opportunity due to some funky timing issues. Fans are scratching their heads wondering what’s really going on behind the scenes, especially since things were moving full steam ahead with negotiations. The club is now on the hunt for a new gaffer, aiming to have someone in place before their next match against Dundee United. And while Carrick may not be coaching a club at the moment, he’s been keeping busy as a Uefa technical analyst for Barcelona’s recent Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain. Looks like he’s still got his foot in the game, one way or another.
