Middlesbrough are keen to speak to former England and Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick about their vacant manager's job.
Boro sacked Chris Wilder on 3 October, with the club 22nd in the Championship.
Goalkeeping coach Leo Percovich is in temporary charge and secured a win over Birmingham at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday.
However, Carrick is on owner Steve Gibson's radar as a potential candidate to take the job permanently.
He has been out of the game since leaving Old Trafford after a three-game stint as temporary boss following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal.
Carrick steadied United, with two wins and a draw at Chelsea, and many felt the club would have been in better shape had they left the 41-year-old in charge for an extended period.
He has never made any secret of his management ambitions.
