MANCHESTER — Manchester United have officially announced that Michael Carrick’s entire coaching staff has committed their futures to the club, signing new two-year contracts to remain at Old Trafford. This move ensures stability as Carrick begins his tenure under his new deal, which runs through 2028.
Continuity at Carrington
Following the recent confirmation of Carrick’s long-term appointment as head coach, the club has moved quickly to secure the services of his trusted assistants: Steve Holland, Jonathan Woodgate, Jonny Evans, Travis Binnion, and Craig Mawson.
The coaching group offers a blend of international pedigree, tactical experience, and intimate knowledge of the Manchester United ethos:
• Steve Holland: A highly experienced assistant manager with extensive success in the Premier League and with the England national team.
• Jonathan Woodgate: A former Real Madrid and England defender who has been a key tactical lieutenant to Carrick since their time together at Middlesbrough.
• Jonny Evans: The three-time Premier League winner continues his transition from his distinguished playing career, moving from his role as loan and pathways manager into the first-team coaching setup.
• Travis Binnion: Having previously managed United’s Under-18s and Under-21s, Binnion provides a vital link between the Academy and the first team.
• Craig Mawson: The longstanding goalkeeper coach, who has been with the club since 2019, will continue to oversee the development of the keepers.
Looking Ahead to 2026/27
The confirmation of the staff follows the conclusion of the 2025/26 campaign, where the team successfully secured Champions League football. With the coaching hierarchy now solidified, the group is set to begin preparations for the upcoming 2026/27 season as the club aims to build on a promising foundation.
