Report: Former TFC head coach Chris Armas to join Manchester United as an assistant

TORONTO, Canada—According to multiple reports, former Toronto FC head coach Chris Armas will be on the touch line for English Premier League giant Manchester United this season.

As first mentioned by ESPN’s Taylor Twellman, Armas will join Ralf Rangnick’s coaching staff as an assistant coach and the move should officially be announced in the coming days. Rangnick was confirmed as interim United manager last week, replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Armas will replace Michael Carrick on the United coaching staff.

Armas is coming off a difficult campaign as head coach of TFC, as he was relieved of his duties just 11 games into the Major League Soccer season.
