Cardiff City have axed manager Steve Morison after their 1-0 defeat to Huddersfield Town on Saturday. The shock news comes after a mixed start to the campaign has the Welsh outfit sitting 18th in the Championship.
Before yesterday’s loss to the Terriers, Cardiff were just three points behind the play-off places - showing just how quickly circumstances can change in football. Cardiff are now looking for their seventh manager in six years on their quest to return to the Premier League.
The move also follows a busy transfer window which saw the Bluebirds make 17 first-team signings. A club statement read: “Cardiff City Football Club can confirm that First Team Manager Steve Morison has been relieved of his duties.

“We’d like to thank Steve for his efforts during his time at Cardiff City, stabilising the first team last season and helping to evolve our squad in line with the club’s philosophy this summer. We wish him the best for the future.
“Mark Hudson will oversee first-team affairs at this time, assisted by Tom Ramasut, whilst the Club considers options for the position.”
Morison, of course, spent two years at Leeds United as a player and retired in 2019 before moving into coaching with the Bluebirds.
