Boro’s Championship rivals are on the hunt for a new manager after Nigel Adkins announced he would be leaving the club when his contract expires on June 30.

Sunderland flop Simon Grayson is the early favourtie at odds of 3/1, with the ex-Leeds and Preston North End boss also believed to be in contention for the vacant Kilmarnock role in Scotland’s top flight.
Former West Brom boss Darren Moore (6/1) also features high in the odds – alongside two former Middlesbrough managers.
Aitor Karanka (9/1) and Tony Pulis (12/1) are both thought to be in with a shout of the job as they seek a new challenge.
