Middlesbrough have appointed former Forest Green boss Rob Edwards as their new head coach on a three-year deal.
The 42-year-old, who left Luton in January, replaces Michael Carrick, who departed the Riverside Stadium earlier this summer after nearly three years in charge.
Edwards told the club’s website: “It’s a real privilege to be given the opportunity to be head coach of this great football club. It’s something that’s not lost on me, how big this is, how important this is, and what it means to people. There is an amazing fanbase.
“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.
“We have a brilliant owner who historically gives his coaches time, support, and the tools needed to try and be successful. I can’t wait to get started now.”
