Edwards appointed Middlesbrough manager

SPORTS 24.06.2025

Middlesbrough appointed Rob Edwards as the club's new manager on a three-year deal on Tuesday.

Text size:

Edwards, who left Luton by mutual consent in January, replaces former Manchester United and England midfielder Michael Carrick, whose reign was brought to a close earlier this month after the Teessiders missed out on the Championship play-offs.

The 42-year-old guided Luton to promotion to the Premier League in the 2022/23 season before overseeing their immediate relegation back to the second tier.

Luton then dropped down to League One last season after Edwards departed.

"Rob brings a wealth of experience, having led Luton to the top flight during his first season at the club, and he followed that by managing the Hatters in the Premier League," Middlesbrough said in a statement.

Edwards' task will be to re-establish Boro as promotion contenders after a disappointing 10th place finish at the end of last season, which extended their top-flight exile to eight years.
