The Teessiders parted company with head coach Aitor Karanka on Thursday, placing assistant Agnew in charge of first-team affairs as he prepares the players for Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester United at the Riverside Stadium.

Agnew has now turned to 65-year-old Jordan, who worked alongside Harry Redknapp at Portsmouth, Tottenham Hotspur and QPR, to give him some guidance for the challenges ahead.
