Neil Warnock will remain as Middlesbrough manager for next season.
Warnock took over in June with the club in danger of relegation from the Sky Bet Championship, but the 71-year-old won four of his eight games in charge to keep the club in the division.
‘Neil Warnock is to stay on as Boro manager and will lead the club in the 2020-21 season,’ the club announced on its website.

Warnock, who counts Boro as his 17th club, held talks with chairman Steve Gibson after the club’s Championship status was secured.
‘Neil will be with us next season and he’s busy already,’ Gibson told BBC Radio Tees Sport.
‘He said he was going to take a week off down in Cornwall and switch his phone off. I wish he had because he’s on the phone to me every 10 minutes!’
Warnock’s lieutenants Kevin Blackwell and Ronnie Jepson will also form part of the new management team at the Riverside next season.
