Middlesbrough appoint 37-year-old manager Kim Hellberg to boost promotion push
Boro pay £250,000 to extract him from Hammarby
Swede had looked poised to take charge at Swansea
Kim Hellberg has completed his managerial move to Middlesbrough from Hammarby. The 37-year-old Swede, who appeared poised to take charge at Swansea until Boro’s hijacking of that mooted deal, will aim to reinforce a reputation as one of Europe’s brightest emerging coaches.
After securing two consecutive second-place finishes in Sweden’s top tier at Hammarby, Hellberg has become something of a hot property and is tasked with leading Boro back into the Premier League.
