Tony Pulis and Nigel Pearson high on Middlesbrough’s managerial wishlist
Written by News on 24/12/2017
Tony Pulis and Nigel Pearson are high on Middlesbrough’s managerial wishlist following the sacking of Garry Monk, according to Sky sources.
Middlesbrough parted company with Monk on Saturday evening following the club’s 2-1 win away to Sheffield Wednesday.
Pulis, sacked by West Brom in November, and former Middlesbrough defender Pearson are high on owner Steve Gibson’s wanted list.
Sky Sports News understands Pulis wants to spend Christmas with his family before returning to the dugout, but Gibson is keen to make an appointment as soon as possible in the midst of Boro’s hectic festive.
Monk, whose tenure at the Riverside was the shortest of any permanent Middlesbrough manager at just 198 days, is now favourite to fill the vacant managerial position at former club Swansea.
Boro’s academy director Craig Liddle has taken temporary charge of the club’s first team affairs – including the Boxing Day home game against Bolton – until a permanent manager can be found.
