Aitor Karanka has revealed that "differences in decisions and points of view" led to Craig Hignett's departure from the club today.
The announcement that Boro's No.2 had left his role with immediate effect this morning was met with widespread surprise.
But Karanka says both he and Hignett agreed that the decision was best for the club.
"We had differences in our decisions and points of view," Karanka told the club's website.
"All of us want the best for our club and we have talked, and we agreed that this is the best for the club. I just want to say thanks to Higgy.
"He was my first assistant. I said on Saturday morning that he was very important these past eight months and I know how important he is for this club.
"I wish him all the best because he deserves all the best."
Hignett was appointed as Boro's assistant in March this year and joined the club from Hartlepool United.
Only last week Karanka praised his No.2 , describing him as a legend who is very important at the club.
But the head coach today added: "This is football.
"We have to work and we have to try and get the best for our club.
"This is the main thing whether it's Aitor Karanka, Higgy or anyone...the person isn't important...it's the club, and we want to get the club in the highest position."
