Woodgate, 39, was part of the coaching set-up under Pulis but has never been a manager before. It has been reported that Steve Round and Robbie Keane, Woodgate's ex-Leeds team-mate, have held talks about working alongside him at Boro. Pulis left Boro in May after they failed to reach the play-offs. Woodgate, who won eight caps for England, later retired and went on to take on a role with Liverpool as a scout.
