In the "Middlesbrough" club, located in the relegation zone, decided to save itself by parting ways with coach Aitor Karanka. Former Jose Mourinho assistant at Madrid's "Real" took over the reins of "Boro" in 2013 when the team was in 20th place in the "Championship". Last season, "Boro" finished second in the second-tier of English football and climbed to the "Premier" league, but this year conflicts with players and club officials overshadowed the Spaniard's work. "Both sides agreed that this change will benefit the club", - said in an official statement. In Sunday's match against "Manchester United", assistant coach Steve Agnew will take over the reins for "Middlesbrough". Karanka himself commented on the situation in a traditional way, thanking all the people he worked with, as well as the fans for their support.
I'd like to thank @Boro for a wonderful opportunity and the players, staff and all the people at the club who I have worked with. #UTB 1/3 pic.twitter.com/JPYTy8XM0H
