Speculation About Future Roles
Recently, Carrick has been linked to the managerial position at Rangers in the Scottish Premiership. However, he remains nonchalant about his next steps in management.
In his own words, “I’m kind of chilled and calm about returning to management. I think it’s very difficult to know when the next opportunity is coming.”
Focus on Family
At present, Carrick is prioritizing family time. He has expressed enjoyment in this phase of life, stepping back from the demands of coaching. Interestingly, he chose not to involve himself in his son’s development within the Manchester United academy during its recent visit to Hong Kong.
Carrick’s time away from management continues to draw interest, but as he underscores, the right opportunity will dictate his next steps in football.
