Middlesbrough have officially confirmed Kim Hellberg as their new head coach, bringing an end to their search following Rob Edwards’ departure to Wolves. The appointment marks a major step for Boro, who remain strong contenders in the Championship race.
The 37-year-old joins from Hammarby, where he earned praise for an attacking approach and rapid squad development. This move also represents his first coaching role outside Sweden, even though he had earlier held discussions with Swansea City.
First Overseas Challenge for Hellberg
Hellberg is set to begin his duties later this week, with Middlesbrough preparing the formal takeover process. Until then, Adi Viveash continues as interim boss and will lead the team in the upcoming home fixture against Coventry City, the current Championship leaders.
The Swedish coach expressed belief in staying optimistic, stating, “You stay positive in life, never know what can happen.” His words have already sparked interest among fans eager to see how his philosophy translates to English football.
Strong League Position as Boro Look Ahead
Middlesbrough sit second in the table, seven points behind Coventry City, after suffering only two defeats in their first 16 league games. The club expect Hellberg’s arrival to strengthen their momentum as the promotion battle intensifies.
Boro’s leadership believe his tactical mindset and fresh perspective can elevate the team during a crucial phase of the season. With a solid foundation already in place, Hellberg steps into a squad ready for a new chapter under his guidance.
