Venables turns down Middlesbrough job
Former England manager Terry Venables has turned down the chance to join Middlesbrough when press reports had claimed the UEFA Cup finalists were about to name him as the new boss.
Former Boro manager Steve McClaren is thought keen to use the 63-year-old as a senior advisor when he becomes England head coach after the World Cup, and it is known Boro have kept their options open by talking with more than one prospective manager.
It is understood detailed talks have taken place between the club and Venables, as well as Alan Curbishley and Martin O’Neill, however Sky Sports News have reported that Venables has ruled himself out of contention.
With Venables apparently no longer interested, O’Neill might well replace him as Boro’s top target.
