"Middlesbrough are poised to confirm Kim Hellberg as their new manager. The 37-year-old is due to join from Swedish side Hammarby and replace Rob Edwards following his move to Wolves. Boro have been finalising Hellberg's work permit and he is not expected to take charge of Tuesday's Championship top-of-the-table visit of leaders Coventry, with caretaker Aidy Viveash again due to lead Boro."
"Hellberg took Hammarby to second-placed finishes in the Swedish top flight during his two seasons in charge. Ex-Wolves first-team coach Ian Burchnall is in the running to replace Hellberg. Burchnall, a former Forest Green and Notts County manager, has previously managed in Scandinavia having taken charge of Viking in Norway and Ostersunds in Sweden, when he succeeded Graham Potter in 2018."
Middlesbrough are poised to confirm Kim Hellberg, 37, as their new manager after Rob Edwards moved to Wolves. The club have been finalising Hellberg's work permit and he is not expected to take charge of the upcoming home match against leaders Coventry, with caretaker Aidy Viveash likely to lead the team. Middlesbrough sit second in the Championship, seven points behind Coventry after a 1-1 draw at Oxford. Hellberg led Hammarby to second-placed finishes in the Swedish top flight over two seasons. Ian Burchnall, an ex-Wolves first-team coach with Scandinavian managerial experience and recent coaching ties to Jamaica, is also in contention.
