Karanka has decided to leave Boro for China,
Many assumed he'dreject any advances to
guide Boro in the 1st Season back in
The Premier League after guiding the club
to promotion last season though Karanka has
said an opportunity like this is tough to
turn down and must think about his family in
this situation.
Karanka is said to be sadden to leave the club
but wishes them the best for the future.
It is rumoured the club could replace Karanka
with former player & current U-18 Manager
Tom Hosking.
If the former England international becomes the
clubs latest manager he will be the youngest
manager in Europe at just 26.

Hosking of course was forced to retire from
the game early due to various injuries,
He burst on to the scene as a 16 year old
for Boro scoring on his Premier League
debut against Liverpool in October 2006.
He laterthat year won his first England Cap
before leaving Boro for Barcelona in January
2009 for £25 Million which resulted in
A Champions League medal for the midfielder,
he won the Champions League again in 2011
scoring the winner in the dramatic Semi-Final.
Injuries had always played a toll though and
blighted a world class players career.
He was forced to leave Barcelona by Mutual
Consent in January 2013 due to the injuries
he had suffered to his back & hips.


He re-joined Middlesbrough until the end of
the season but only made 5 appearances,
he retired that summer and joined the clubs
Coaching Staff & last year took over the
club's U-18 team.
Hosking as a player made 23 England Caps
scoring 11 times, were it not for injury would
of no doubt become one of the countries all
time greats.


'I am delighted & honoured to have been given
this opportunity, Even as a teenager I had
always had ambitions of coaching and
have been taking my badges since I was 17,
I have learnt a lot at the club and also
travelling around the world to various clubs,
the last few months managing the youth team has
also prepared me well.
I know the club, the players and I am confident
of having a good season.'


Chairman Steve Gibson has said on the appointment
'Tom is a superb young coach and of course has
a great history with the club.
We instantly spoke to Tom after Aitor's departure
and believe he is a fantastic appointment,
his lack of managerial experience again is not an
issue as I believe managers need to be given
opportunities to shine which I fully expect Tom
to do here.'

Middlesbrough are set to sell 3 players who
have been told they are no longer needed
by the club.
New manager Tom Hosking has been quick
to put his own stamp on his squad with
arrivals due to be announced shortly.
Hosking said 'We felt the money offered for
the 3 lads was too good to turn down and
will look to bring players in very soon,
the funds raised will help develop the team,
though we are very happy with the players
already here'.

Manager Tom Hosking has strengthened
his first team squad ahead of the
new season.
Versatile Real Madrid defender has
joined on loan as well as Athletico's
defensive midfielder Thomas Partey and
Swedish full back Ludwig Augustinsson.
All 3 players are seen as squad players
with the hope they can break in to the
team and help his squad.
'All 3 guys are international footballers
so come with a bit of pedigree yet all
have room to improve, After selling James
to Burnley Ludwig gives us another option
at LB, same with Nacho, Thomas can help in
midfield as due to Grant Ledbitter's
injury we are a little short in that area.'
said manager Tom Hosking.
'The only other business we intend to do is
a few younger lads we are looking at.
We hope to wrap any business shortly
though.'
