Middlesbrough’s Championship rivals, Huddersfield Town, confirmed head coach Carlos Corberan has resigned from the club yesterday.
The Terriers finished in third place last season and narrowly missed out on promotion after they were beaten by Nottingham Forest in the Play-Off final.
Town, who will be battling Boro for a promotion spot once again, are now without a permanent manager ahead of their first match of the season in less than a month.
The Yorkshire club are set to face Birmingham City on 6th August, while Boro will travel south to take on QPR.
