The former Sheffield United boss arrives in place of Neil Warnock who left his role on Saturday after a 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion.
And the 54-year-old has got supporters buzzing given the success he has had throughout his managerial career to date.
One thing which Wilder does seem to afford clubs is longevity having spent six years at both Halifax Town and Oxford United, and five years at Bramall Lane with the Blades.
Boro supporters will be hoping they can get a similar run out of Wilder who knows what it takes to guide a club to the Premier League having taken United there from League One in just three seasons.
And given Wilder’s success to date, here at The Mail we take a look at how Wilder’s win percentage from previous clubs stacks up against Boro managers over the last 25 years.
