The decision is made! Roberto De Zerbi agrees to take charge of Manchester United, turning down Tottenham
Manchester United could have a new head coach for the upcoming season.
Details: According to TeamTalk, the 46-year-old Italian manager Roberto De Zerbi has informed the Manchester United board that he is ready to take over the team next season.
It is reported that De Zerbi was choosing between Manchester United and Tottenham, but due to the uncertainty surrounding the Spurs' league position and which competition they will be playing in next season, Roberto opted for the Red Devils.

At the moment, there is no talk of Carrick stepping down, but he was never considered by the board as a permanent solution—rather as a temporary fix.
Currently, De Zerbi is unemployed after leaving Marseille in February of this year.
Carrick, meanwhile, has delivered impressive results at the helm of United: 8 matches with 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Now the Manchester United board faces a tough decision between the two coaches.
