Veteran manager Neil Warnock is set for a return to the game.

Many had believed Warnock was done with management, after the 71-year-old left Cardiff last month.

He had been in charge at Cardiff for the past three years.

But it appears that Middlesbrough are chasing Warnock, per The Sun, after the news that Jonathan Woodgate is likely to get the sack.

Boro lost 4-0 to Leeds United in the Championship at the weekend, piling the pressure on the former central defender.

Warnock is somewhat of a specialist at getting clubs promoted to the Premier League, which would appeal to Middlesbrough.

He has previously been linked with a move to Scottish side Hearts.
