Middlesbrough are close to appointing former Luton boss Rob Edwards as their head coach.
The 42-year-old is expected to take charge at the Riverside and replace Michael Carrick, who was sacked earlier this month.
Ex-Nottingham Forest and Leicester boss Steve Cooper was also a candidate but Edwards is due to return to work for the first time since being axed by Luton in January.
Edwards worked with Boro sporting director Kieran Scott when the pair were at Wolves and was also a candidate for the job when Carrick was appointed in 2022.
