"The way they play and want to play, together with the crowd, suits me and how I want to work. I want us to play quick and aggressive football, and to try to win the ball as quickly as possible if we don't have it. I want us to be quick on goal and create a lot of chances. I've been very impressed with the players and how they've worked so far this season, and I'm looking forward to getting to work with them."
"Kim is someone I've been monitoring for a while. He's well known in the circles of European football as an up-and-coming head coach that was catching a lot of people's eye and was doing really well at Hammarby. We met a few candidates, but Kim was high on my list of people I wanted to speak to. Myself, [chief executive] Neil [Bausor] and [chairman] Steve [Gibson] met him and were very impressed with what he had to say and how he carried himself."
Kim Hellberg has been appointed head coach of Middlesbrough, joining from Hammarby where he led the club to successive second-place finishes in the Allsvenskan. He had held talks with Swansea City but chose Middlesbrough, who sit second in the Championship, seven points behind leaders Coventry City. Rob Edwards left to become Wolves head coach under five months into a three-year contract. Hellberg will not take charge of the upcoming match against Coventry; interim boss Adi Viveash will remain in charge. Hellberg wants quick, aggressive football, rapid ball recovery and high chance creation. Club officials praised his record and character.
