  4. 'The type of appointment Boro haven't made before'

    Kim Hellberg appointment: A 'calculated risk' by Boro

    "It's the type of appointment Boro haven't really made before. They've had an overseas manager, they've had unproven coaches stepping up to be a head coach, but what they haven't really done before is taken a manager who is young, ambitious, making a name for himself overseas and brought him over to be a head coach in the Championship.

    "While this feels like a step into the unknown, and it is to a degree, it's also a path other clubs have trod really successfully. The hope among fans is he'll come in and build on the good work Rob Edwards has done at the start of the season.

    "He's coming into a club which has started really well, with a good squad in place, can he now get them to kick-on and make sure they challenge for promotion?"

    BBC Radio Tees' Rob Law talks to Scott Wilson of the Northern Echo about Boro's potential new head coach Kim Hellberg.

    "There's a few clubs in the league all looking for managers. Middlesbrough is a bit of a unique situation because of the way the manager has left. I am sure there's been a thorough process in terms of getting the right man for the job.

  19. McGree relishes pressure in 'biggest season' of career

    Fit-again Middlesbrough midfielder Riley McGree believes this is the biggest season of his career.

    A hamstring injury sustained in pre-season meant the 27-year-old missed the opening nine games of the Championship season, having made just 39 league appearances across the previous two seasons after a series of injuries.

    McGree, who arrived from MLS side Charlotte in January 2022, made only his second start in 11 months against former club Birmingham on 8 November, playing just over an hour in the 2-1 win, while he came off the bench for Australia in the 1-0 friendly defeat to Venezuela three days later.

    In an interview with the Socceroos website, McGree said: "Before this season I told myself, that this is probably the biggest season in my career to date. Every season is, but this one, especially.

    "I'm with a really ambitious club in a good position and with potential to be in the Premier League at the end of the season. And then hopefully I can go to a World Cup."

    McGree knows his performances will be scrutinised, but believes 'pressure is a privilege'.

    "And I'm getting a little bit older now. I'm 27, so I'm a bit more experienced, and there's a bit of an expectation, potentially, from the players around me, the coaching staff and the fans for me to do well," he added.

    "I relish that expectation and the pressure that comes with it, because it is a privilege. So this year is important and I hope to take full advantage of the opportunities that I get."
