Rob Edwards has been appointed Middlesbrough head coach, the English Championship club said on Tuesday, the former Luton Town manager replacing Michael Carrick after signing a three-year contract.
Carrick parted ways with the second-tier side this month after they missed out on the promotion playoffs.
“It felt instantly that this was right for me and it got me excited. If I was going to come back in, I wanted to come back in at a place where we had a chance, and we have a really good chance here,” Edwards said in a statement.
Edwards, 42, led Luton to promotion to the Premier League in his debut season, but the club were relegated straight back to the Championship in 2024 and to third-tier League One this year.
