Former-Fulham and Watford manager to be interviewed for Middlesbrough manager’s role

According to Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie, Middlesbrough are set to interview former Fulham and Watford manager Slavisa Jokanovic within the next 24 hours.

Jokanovic has been out of work since leaving his post as Fulham boss in November 2018, but is now in the fold to return to management with Middlesbrough.

Previous Middlesbrough boss Tony Pulis wasn’t offered a renewal of his contract, with his deal coming to an end last week, and the Middlesbrough hierarchy, including Chairman Steve Gibson, are looking to get a new man to take the reigns as soon as possible.

50-year old Jokanovic has had plenty of success in the Championship with both Watford and Fulham, getting both teams promoted to the Premier League in the 2014-15 season and 2017-18 season respectively.

Both sides played expansive attacking football – something which has been lacking at Boro since the arrival of Tony Pulis back in 2017. Although the Welshman guided the Teessiders to fifth place and seventh place in his two seasons in charge, the style of football was one that the supporters weren’t happy with, ultimately calling for his sacking towards the end of the campaign.

The series of tweets from Keith Downie highlight that Jokanovic is certainly not the only manager to be interviewed, with First Team Coach Jonathan Woodgate still in the running too.

The former-Boro, Spurs and Real Madrid centre back is still favourite to take over from Pulis, but with interviews taking place this week, Steve Gibson could make a decision on a new boss sooner rather than later.
