CARRICK ERA ENDS AT UNITED: CANDIDATE ANTONIO CONTE

Manchester United, one of the deep-rooted clubs of the English Premier League, entered a brand new quest for the managerial seat. Corriere dello Sport, one of the leading newspapers of the Italian sports press, carried to its pages that the red devils made preparations to part ways with Michael Carrick. The English giant decided not to continue with the current manager, who was one of the legendary former players of the team, after the unstable pitch results obtained recently. The board of directors created a very urgent action plan to throw the dead soil off the team and return to the old glorious days. In this direction, club officials took action immediately to find a new head coach candidate. The Manchester United management placed the fifty-seven-year-old experienced Italian technical man Antonio Conte at the very top of this extensive list they created. The successful coach managed the Italian Serie A side Napoli at the last stop of his career and then decided to rest for a while. The staff of the red devils believed that Conte's disciplined structure, tactical genius, and management skills in moments of crisis would get the team back on its feet again. The Italian coach's English Premier League experience especially played a massive role in this decision of the management. The board thought that Conte's aggressive and winning-oriented football philosophy coincided perfectly with the genetics of Manchester United. Sources close to the club stated that the first official contacts took place between the parties and the negotiations passed in a highly positive atmosphere. The British sports press brought to its headlines that the announcement of Michael Carrick's dismissal was a matter of time and Antonio Conte would sign the official contract right after. The entire football public followed this massive managerial change with great attention. Fans discussed the aggressive identity on social media platforms.
