Michael Carrick 'agrees personal terms with Middlesbrough' and will sign his contract at the Championship strugglers in the next '24 hours' as he makes his permanent managerial debut in the second division

Michael Carrick is set to be announced as the new Middlesbrough head coach after agreeing personal terms with the Championship club, marking his first step into full-time management since leaving Manchester United last year.

The former Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup winner will sign his contract with Boro imminently after being identified as the club's successor to Chris Wilder.

Carrick initially indicated he wouldn't accept the position due to issues relating to backroom staff and transfers, but those problems have now been resolved with the 41-year-old set for his debut stint in the second division dugout.
