Steve McClaren (born in 1963) is a former professional footballer. He played for several clubs including Derby County. He made an initial name in management at Oxford United and then made a great success of an opportunity to become assistant manager under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
In the summer of 2001 McClaren was offered the position of manager of Middlesbrough by club chairman Steve Gibson, and has been a success in the role, he achieved an FA Cup semi-final place in his first season, losing to Arsenal, he was then in charge as Middlesbrough won their first ever major honour, winning the League Cup in 2004 against Bolton Wanderers at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, taking them into European football for the first time and overseeing the recruitment of many big-name international footballers to the club, including Ray Parlour of Arsenal fame and of course not forgetting the legend that is Pele. He also has pushed the team to reach their highest finish in the Premiership, 7th in the 2004/2005 season which gave them another run in Europe. In the 2005/06 season, Middlesbrough achieved a semi final place in both the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup. Many expect to see him managing the England national team in future.
McClaren is also assistant manager and chief coach to the England football team.
