According to Sky Sports , the English coach paid the price after a disappointing season that saw Middlesbrough miss out on a Premier League promotion play-off spot.
Carrick was appointed Middlesbrough manager in October 2022 and has signed a new contract until the summer of 2027. However, despite the backing of chairman Steve Gibson, the former Man Utd midfielder has yet to lead the team to success. A 10th-place finish in the 2024/25 Championship, four points off the play-off places, was a step back from initial expectations.

Carrick parted ways with Middlesbrough. |
Boro's inconsistent form, particularly a poor run of form over the winter period that saw just one win in February, has piled pressure on Carrick.
Despite a late win over bottom-placed Plymouth Argyle, it was not enough to salvage what was a failed campaign.
Tellingly, Middlesbrough have scored more goals than Sheffield United, who were promoted after winning the play-off final. This shows that the team has good attacking potential. However, their inconsistency and defensive errors have cost them many important points.
Another piece of news that is being closely watched is the future of star midfielder Finn Azaz. The Irishman joined Middlesbrough from Aston Villa in January 2024 and quickly made a strong impression. With 12 goals and 11 assists, Azaz has caught the eye of many Premier League clubs, including Leeds United. Middlesbrough are said to be demanding a high price for this star, who is currently the most valuable asset at the Riverside.
The decision on Carrick will have a major impact on preparations for the 2025/26 season, when Boro desperately need a clear path back to England's most prestigious arena for the first time since 2017.
