Ex-Leeds United and Huddersfield Town coach among favourites for vacant Championship position

Carlos Corberan is the second favourite to be appointed manager at Middlesbrough following the sacking of Chris Wilder on Monday.

Wilder was let go by Boro after just two wins from 11 games left the club in the Championship relegation zone.

Rob Edwards has reportedly been approached for the position and is the heavy favourite but other reports have claimed that Corberan has also been spoken to.

The 39-year-old guided Huddersfield Town to the Championship play-off final last term but left the club in the summer, later citing a lack of ambition as one of his reasons for leaving.

He took charge of 102 games with the Terriers during two seasons. He was previously assistant coach at Leeds United under Marcelo Bielsa and was in charge of the Elland Road outfit’s Under-23s side.
