    Middlesbrough have traditionally bounced between the top two divisions of English football and are currently in the Championship.

    Middlesbrough have featured regularly in the Premier League since it was founded in the early 1990s.

    Their strongest performances came under manager Steve McClaren, who won the 2004 League Cup and oversaw their run to the 2006 UEFA Cup final, where they were beaten by Sevilla. Under McClaren, they finished seventh in the top flight in 2005.

    Middlesbrough have been stuck in the Championship since 2017/18 and former Manchester United and England midfielder Michael Carrick is the latest in a long list of managers given the duty of leading them back to the Premier League. He nearly succeeded during his first season in charge, with Boro finishing fourth. They were knocked out of the play-offs by Coventry City.
