Former Aston Villa and Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has been backed into 11/10 favourite to become the next manager of Middlesbrough.
The Sky Bet Championship outfit recently announced the departure of Michael Carrick following a campaign which saw them finishing 10th in the second tier.
Steve Cooper and Rob Edwards had previously been at the top of the market but Gerrard has been backed in from the 16/1 on offer just a week ago.

Gerrard's last managerial role came with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq. He left by mutual consent in January after 18 months at the helm.
Previously, he guided Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title in 2021, an outcome which led to him being named Manager of the Year by the PFA Scotland and the SPFL.
But his spell at Aston Villa failed to produce similar results. Gerrard guided them to a 14th-placed finish before his sacking in October 2022 with the club winning just two of their first 12 league contests.
