Despite having only had a few training sessions so far, Carrick has already infused the squad with a renewed sense of energy.
“We’ve not had much time on the pitch,” the center-back remarked. “With just a couple of sessions under our belts, he’s focused on instilling fresh energy and ideas without overwhelming us with tactics at this stage.
“Restoring the energy in the building is crucial, especially since this club often faces intense scrutiny and analysis that can drain the players’ morale.
“Michael, having played here and excelled in outstanding teams, understands what it takes to achieve success in this environment, as well as what is required from both the team and the staff.
“It certainly feels like he has brought a vibrant energy to this week, and the players are fully embracing it.”
