Pulis comes in for Monk as Boro boss
Print Edition
Tony Pulis replaced Gary Monk as manager of Championship side Middlesbrough yesterday.
Monk was sacked on Saturday, hours after his side鈥檚 2-1 win at Sheffield Wednesday.
Pulis has been out of work since November when he left English Premier League struggler West Bromwich Albion and was also a target for Wednesday before Middlesbrough won the race for his signature.
Middlesbrough won 10 of its 23 league games under Monk, who took charge in June.
The team is ninth in the second-tier table, three points behind Aston Villa, which occupies the final playoff place, ahead of yesterday鈥檚 game against Bolton Wanderers.
Pulis will watch the Bolton match from the stands at the Riverside Stadium, with academy manager Craig Liddle taking charge of the team before the 59-year-old officially starts work.
鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to appoint Tony as our new manager. His experience and knowledge speaks for itself and he has a tremendous track record,鈥 Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson said.
Pulis was sacked by West Brom after mounting fan unrest following a run of 10 games without a win.
Albion supporters were underwhelmed by Pulis鈥檚 dull tactics, but the Welshman鈥檚 track record throughout a managerial career lasting over 1,000 games is mostly impressive given the lack of resources available in many of his jobs.
Middlesbrough will be his ninth club in a career that also included spells with Bournemouth, Gillingham, Bristol City, Portsmouth, Stoke City, Plymouth and Crystal Palace.
