Aitor Karanka: Middlesbrough coach faces FA misconduct charge

Karanka succeeded Tony Mowbray as Boro boss in November 2013

Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association following an incident at the end of their 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Saturday.

Karanka was frustrated that Rudy Gestede's equaliser was allowed to stand after what he believed was a foul on goalkeeper Dimi Konstantopoulos.

Referee Mark Clattenburg sent the Spaniard off for his complaints.

The 41-year-old has until 18:00 GMT on Friday to respond to the charge.
