Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson is putting together a dream management team for next season.
Steve Agnew won't get the manager's job following their relegation this term.
The Daily Mail says if relegated Middlesbrough appoint bookies favourite Ryan Giggs as their next manager, the word is that former Boro boss Steve McClaren, Giggs's coach at Manchester United for the 1999 Treble, may return to the Riverside as director of football.
McClaren has been out of work since being sacked by Derby County this season.
