The search for the Bluebirds' new boss has taken more than seven weeks following the sacking of Omer Riza, but the club have finally announced the man who will lead them on their League One campaign.

It will be the 46-year-old’s second job in senior management following a two-year spell at Rochdale.

However, he has gained a reputation as one of the country’s top coaches following his time working in Manchester City’s academy and most recently at Leicester City.
