Carlo Ancelotti has made thoughts clear on Man Utd job as candidate rules himself out
Carlo Ancelotti has ruled himself out of consideration for the Manchester United manager position, alongside Thomas Tuchel, who has signed a contract extension with England.
Carlo Ancelotti, the current manager of Brazil's national football team, has publicly clarified his stance regarding the managerial vacancy at Manchester United, stating he is not interested in the role. His decision comes amidst speculation as the club seeks a permanent replacement for Ruben Amorim, who was sacked last month. While interim manager Michael Carrick has impressed since taking over, the club is exploring other candidates for the position, keeping the possibility of a full-time role for Carrick open depending on his continued success.
In the context of the managerial search, Thomas Tuchel was also heavily linked with the United role. However, Tuchel has recently committed his future to the England national team by signing a new contract that will keep him in charge until Euro 2028. This decision further narrows down the list of potential candidates for Manchester United as they continue their search for a new leader to guide the team moving forward.
The developments highlight the challenges faced by Manchester United in their quest to stabilize leadership after a difficult season. With two high-profile candidates opting to remain with their current teams, the search may lead the club to consider other managerial options, along with evaluating Carrick's performance to decide if he can secure the position on a permanent basis.
