Beswick to leave Boro

Sports psychologist Bill Beswick is to leave Middlesbrough as new manager Gareth Southgate finalises his coaching team.

Boro today confirmed that Beswick, who was initially recruited by Steve McClaren as his assistant, is to move on.

However, there will be places in the new set-up for Steve Round, Steve Harrison, Paul Barron and Malcolm Crosby, while experienced defender Colin Cooper could also have a role to play.
