Aitor Karanka says Middlesbrough showed their true spirit holding Arsenal scoreless at the Emirates.Aitor Karanka has warned football's most experienced managers they cannot afford to rest on their laurels as a new generation of coaches emerges.
Middlesbrough's 43-year-old head coach will go head-to-head with Bournemouth counterpart Eddie Howe, five years his junior, in the Premier League on Saturday with the pair having led their respective clubs out of the Championship.
