Cardiff City manager Sabri Lamouchi insists there’s no rest for the wicked – or those still threatened by the terror of relegation. The Bluebirds boss may have earned back-to-back victories to ease worries of the drop from the Championship, but he has reminded his players they have to keep winning – starting on Saturday, away at Norwich City. Cardiff are one place and four points above the relegation zone, but Huddersfield – immediately beneath them – also won their last match and have a game in hand.

Mark McGuinness was at the centre of a red card row as Cardiff City boosted their relegation battle with a dramatic 1-0 win at home to Reading. Bluebirds defender McGuinness was shown a yellow card for a lunging foul on Amadou Mbengue in the first half, but Reading manager Paul Ince was left furious with referee Darren Bond for not showing a red. It proved a significant decision as Romaine Sawyers smashed home a 91st minute goal from the edge of the box to hand Cardiff priceless back-to-back victories, moving them five points clear of the relegation zone.

Cardiff City fans will be hoping Perry Ng is feeling chilled and his feet are ice-cool when the Bluebirds host Reading on Friday night. It was Ng’s sweet free-kick that sent his club on their way to a 2-0 midweek victory at Birmingham City to bring to an end a 14-match winless streak. Bluebirds manager Sabri Lamouchi revealed that Ng was slotting plenty of free-kicks into the net in training and added: “We had two goals from him like this before the game in the training session.

Sabri Lamouchi has praised Cardiff City’s fighting spirit after they gave him his first victory as manager and ended a 14-game winless run. Superb late strikes from Perry Ng and Callum Robinson earned Cardiff a 2-0 win at Birmingham City – a first under new boss Lamouchi in his fourth match in charge. The victory lifted the Bluebirds three points clear of the Championship relegation zone, but the clubs below them all have two games in hand.

Legendary former Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock has made a surprising return to the scene by taking the helm at Huddersfield Town – and will now be gunning for the Bluebirds. The 74-year-old, who previously managed Middlesbrough, stepped away from the sport last April, but has been enticed back by the opportunity to keep Huddersfield in the Championship. Warnock will officially start his duties at the club after returning from a holiday in the United States and will then set his sights on lifting Huddersfield above Cardiff in the depths of the Championship.

Sabri Lamouchi insists he thinks Cardiff City can stay in the Championship, but admits: “I am not a magician.” The Bluebirds’ 3-1 defeat at home to Middlesbrough on Saturday means they have lost all three games since the Frenchman took charge. There has been no sign of a new manager bounce and Cardiff’s winless sequence now extends to 14 matches.

By Gareth James Sabri Lamouchi is hoping Cardiff City can provide him with some home comforts on Saturday. The Bluebirds boss takes charge in front of the club’s fans for the first time when they host Middlesbrough. But Cardiff’s miserable recent form and awful scoring record means they will be big underdogs to get anything against opponents […]

Former Cardiff City striker Kenny Miller has been sacked by Huddersfield as their assistant manager in a big shake up by the Bluebirds’ rivals for Championship survival. Miller, who was No.2 to fellow Scot Mark Fotheringham, has been dismissed with Fotheringham after little over four months in the job. The Terriers, third from bottom in the Sky Bet Championship, will begin the search for their fifth permanent head coach in less than three years after their winless league run was extended to five matches on Tuesday night.

Sabri Lamouchi has told his Cardiff City players it’s got to be no more Mr. Nice Guys if they are to save their skins in the Championship. The Bluebirds have now gone 13 matches in all competitions without a win following their 1-0 defeat at Hull City. They are still just above the relegation zone, but the three clubs below them all have two matches in hand and if they take four or more points then Cardiff will be rock bottom.

Sol Bamba insists his new boss at Cardiff City, Sabri Lamouchi, commands respect and has the tactical nous to keep the club in the Championship. Bamba has rejoined the club he enjoyed success with as a player as their new assistant and right-hand man to Frenchman Lamouchi. The pair worked together when Lamouchi was manager of the Ivory Coast national team between 2012 and 2014 and Bamba was a player in that squad alongside former Swansea City star Wilfried Bony.

By Harry Corish Cardiff City have appointed former Nottingham Forest manager Sabri Lamouchi as their new head coach. The deal also means a welcome return for Bluebirds folk hero Sol Bamba who has also been announced as the First team coach, joining up with his former coach and returning to Cardiff just two years after […]
