Cardiff City hand Steve Morison new contract until end of 2022/23 season

Cardiff City have handed Steve Morison a new contract until the end of next season.

The Bluebirds boss had been given the job until the end of this season following the departure of Mick McCarthy and a spell as interim boss.

But results, performances and the style of football has improved markedly since he, Tom Ramasut and Mark Hudson took the reins and, following the 1-0 win over Derby County, the club felt it right to announce that Morison continue his work into next season.

Owner Vincent Tan said: “I’ve been very pleased with the way Steve has improved our style of play and has helped get the best out of our younger and more established players.

“Steve deserves this opportunity following the hard work that he has put into driving the players forward on and off the field.

“I am confident that he is the right person to build a competitive squad over the summer months and I look forward to our continued, honest and positive working relationship.”

Cardiff were 21st in the Championship when Morison took charge and just two points above the drop zone.

They have played 23 games in all competitions under his stewardship, winning nine, drawing four and losing 10 of those matches.
