Middlesbrough Appoints Rob Edwards New Head Coach

Middlesbrough has appointed Rob Edwards as their new head coach on a three-year contract, replacing Michael Carrick following a disappointing 10th place finish last season. Edwards, 42, who left Luton Town in January after leading them to the Premier League in 2023, expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity and confidence in the club's potential for success. He highlighted the strong fanbase and praised the club's owner for providing time, support, and resources to coaches. Edwards brings experience from managing Forest Green, Watford, Luton, and a brief interim spell at Wolves, with a track record of promotions and top-flight management. His task is to restore Middlesbrough as promotion contenders after an extended absence from the Premier League. He will be assisted by Adi Viveash and Harry Watling on the coaching staff.
