Manchester United Welcomes New Head Performance Chef: Will Carvalho Joins the Red Devils

Manchester United has made another significant staffing change at Old Trafford, with the appointment of Will Carvalho as the club's new Head Performance Chef. The announcement comes as part of the ongoing restructuring under the INEOS regime, which has seen multiple departures and new appointments at the club.

Notable departures under the INEOS reign include Steve Brown, the club's head scout, Jackie Kay, head of operations, Richard Hawkins, director of football insights and innovations, David Harrison, director of football operations, Annie Hale, director of people and transformation, James Holroyd, commercial development officer, Florence Lafaye, a London-based commercial director, head of performance analysis Paul Brand, and the director of partnerships Liam MacManus.

Will Carvalho, who has been with Brighton and Hove Albion for the past two seasons, is set to replace Omar Meziane who left Old Trafford in October 2024. Prior to joining Brighton, Carvalho had a 12-year stint with the Brazil women's team and eight years with Gloucester's rugby union side, followed by a year and a half with Scottish Rugby.

In an interview with The Argus, Carvalho expressed his excitement about the new challenge, stating, "It's a next step in my career. Timing and opportunity don't always align, but I am massively grateful for my time at Brighton." On Instagram, Carvalho also bid farewell to his team and staff at Brighton, expressing his gratitude and love for them.

Carvalho is expected to start his new role next month, ahead of the pre-season where he'll be focusing on Manchester United's men's team. Fans can join the CentreDevils WhatsApp group chat to stay updated on the latest news and developments at Old Trafford.
