New Middlesbrough manager Garry Monk believes the club "tick all the boxes" he was looking for and is targeting an immediate return to the Premier League following last season's relegation.
Monk has joined Boro on a three-year contract just over two weeks after leaving Leeds following his one-season stay at Elland Road, where he just missed out on a play-off place.
The 38-year-old was expected to remain at Leeds beyond the end of the season but talks broke down following Andrea Radrizzani's takeover, which led to Monk resigning.
However, the former Swansea boss is delighted to take charge at the Riverside Stadium and believes the foundations are in place for a promotion push despite a disappointing season in the top flight last year.
