Along with coaches Craig Liddle, Lee Cattermole, and Mark Tinkler, goalkeeper coach Leo Percovich has been placed in charge temporarily.
Wednesday’s home game against Birmingham City will be their first encounter in charge.
Wilder won 18 of his 45 matches as manager of the Riverside, and his team finished seventh in the league last year, narrowly missing out on the playoffs. Boro also had notable FA Cup triumphs against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Wilder, who led Sheffield United to the Premier League in 2019, was anticipated to head a promotion bid this season, but that has not materialised.Jamb Result
Instead, the team from Teesside is in the bottom three, 13 points below Norwich City for the second automatic promotion slot.

He accomplished the feat with Alfreton Town and Oxford United in non-league, Northampton Town in League Two, and then his hometown Blades, who finished tenth in the Premier League in 2019-20 after rising from League One.
Middlesbrough were 14th in the Championship when he came, but a run of 19 points out of 21 from late November to mid-January propelled them into the play-off positions.
Then, he attracted national attention to Teesside when Boro made a historic FA Cup run.
Under Chris Wilder, Middlesbrough knocked both Manchester United and Tottenham out of the FA Cup last season. First, they knocked Manchester United out 8-7 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in the fourth round in front of 9,000 travelling fans. They then stunned Antonio Conte’s Spurs 1-0 in extra time at the Riverside.
The run came to an end with a 2-0 loss to Chelsea in the quarterfinals, but the added games put them behind in the league.
Two points from five games in April caused them to drop out of the top six, and a 4-1 defeat at Preston on the last day put an end to their play-off chances.
Despite being predicted to be among the promotion contenders this year, Boro have struggled to get going.
It took them six matches to achieve their first victory, and they have yet to win consecutive games.
Middlesbrough released a brief statement confirming Wilder’s departure on Monday, citing the team’s loss against Coventry as the reason for his dismissal.
