Cavic, who played for Manchester United, is now expected to move from the position of interim leader to become the team's head coach. According to the UK Sun and Daily Mail, the team plans to hire Cavic as the new leader of Middlesbrough after the team sacked leader Vedda.
The 41-year-old United legend had briefly taken over from Susquehanna, who was sacked by the team last November, and led the team in three hard-fought matches, winning two and drawing one, but failing to retain his post, which became a key turning point in United's failure to finish in the top four of the Premier League and lose out on European qualification last season.
Middlesbrough is not doing well in the Championship this season, with only 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in 12 matches, ranking 18th in the league, and if there is no improvement, the team is afraid of falling into a relegation crisis. As a result, the club decided to change the manager, sacked Werda, and contacted Cavic to take over.
Despite Cavic's limited coaching experience, he was on the United coaching staff for many years, serving as deputy to Mourinho and Suskecha, from whom he learned a lot.
In fact, after Susquezza's departure last November, Cavic was appointed to lead the team to two wins and a draw in three matches, including a highly acclaimed win over Villarreal in the UEFA Europa League, as well as a draw against Chelsea and a win over Arsenal in the Premier League.
However, United's management chose to trust the well-known brand by hiring German star Ranjic as caretaker leader, and Cavic had no choice but to resign.
After Cavanagh took over Manchester United, the team's performance dropped instead of rising, and the team only finished 6th last season, failing to participate in this season's UEFA Europa League, and even triggering the storm of Crowe's desire to leave the team. As a result, many netizens have expressed their discontent for Cavic, believing that he has suffered from "a thousand wrongs" and speculating that if the United management had trusted Cavic at that time, the team's performance might have been very different.
The Middlesbrough club believes that Cavic has the ability to save the team and has named him as their preferred new manager. It's also a great opportunity for the former England international to prove his coaching abilities, and the two sides are expected to agree on a partnership.
