Middlesbrough appoint Neil Warnock after sacking Jonathan Woodgate
Middlesbrough manager Jonathan Woodgate has been sacked and replaced by the vastly-experienced Neil Warnock as the club battles to avoid relegation from the Championship.
The Teessiders parted company with the former England international on Tuesday morning, three days after a damaging 3-0 home defeat by Swansea.

“MFC can confirm that head coach Jonathan Woodgate has been relieved of his duties with immediate effect,” read a club statement. “Jonathan was relieved of his role on Tuesday morning and will be replaced by the experienced Neil Warnock. Warnock will assume responsibility immediately. The club would like to place on record its thanks to Jonathan for all his work in the role of head coach.”

Former Boro defender Woodgate, who was already on the coaching staff at the club’s Rockliffe Park training headquarters, was handed the reins by chairman Steve Gibson in June last year after impressing during the interview process.

He took charge of 41 games, but won only nine of them and, with eight Championship fixtures remaining, his side sit in 21st place in the table, clear of the bottom three only on goal difference.

The widely-travelled Warnock, whose lengthy managerial career has included spells at Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, QPR and Leeds, has been out of the game since he left Cardiff in November.
