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.

Julen Lopetegui said he felt "sadness and pain" after being sacked as coach of Sevilla following a 4-1 home thrashing by Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday. Some fans applauded Lopetegui at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan and directed their anger at the board, with the club sinking to 17th in La Liga after a dire run of form. Jorge Sampaoli, who coached Sevilla in the 2016-17 season, has agreed to take the reins, according to reports in Spain.
