Earlier today Middlesbrough appointed Aitor Karanka as their new first team manager.
Karanka’s only other managerial experience was as Spain’s under 16 boss between 2008 and 2010, although he is probably best known as being Jose Mourinho’s assistant at Real Madrid. Karanka has no managerial or playing experience in England so it’ll be interesting to see how he copes with a team in the bottom half of the Sky Bet Championship.
Middlesbrough have only finished in the top half of the competition in one of the five seasons since they were relegated from the Premier League and Karanka is their first non-British manager.
No post this weekend due to the international break, I’ll be back next Friday.
