Mark Venus has missed out on a return to the dug-out at Hibernian.
Venus was pipped to the post by Everton reserve team boss and former Bolton and Celtic centre-back Alan Stubbs.
Former Boro assistant boss Venus was reported to be in poll position to take over at the Edinburgh club where alongside Tony Mowbray he had a successful spell as number two between 2004-06.
He had a string of interviews at Easter Road last week and was the bookies favourite to take charge at Hibs, relegated to the Scottish second division at the end of last term.
One time Boro striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, now in charge at Belgian club Royal Antwerp, also applied for the job.
Venus was one of the first to be interviewed and was believed to be the favoured candidate before a late application from Stubbs, who has been coaching at Everton since retiring in 2008.
He is so highly rated at Goodison he was interviewed for the vacant manager’s position after the exit of David Moyes before the job was offered to Roberto Martinez.
