Cardiff have announced the departure of Steve Morison in the wake of Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at Huddersfield. Morison, who became manager on a permanent basis in November last year, leaves with the club 18th in the Championship.
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.” Cardiff said Mark Hudson would take over as caretaker manager, assisted by Tom Ramasut.
Their next game is against Burnley on 1 October. Morison replaced Mick McCarthy on a temporary basis in October last year and was subsequently handed a permanent contract by Cardiff’s owner, Vincent Tan.
