Gerrard Linked as Middlesbrough Open Manager Search After Edwards Joins Wolves

Reports have not been backed by a formal approach, and Steven Gerrard has said he will only return for a role that fits his criteria and allows him to bring trusted staff.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Gerrard features on an early shortlist, but there is no confirmation from Middlesbrough of contact or an appointment.
  • Gerrard recently declined a Rangers return, citing timing, and says he has "unfinished business" but will only take a job that is the right challenge with his staff in place.
