Cardiff City new manager Live updates as Sabri Lamouchi on verge of appointment

Cardiff City are on the verge of appointing former Nottingham Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi as their new manager.

The Frenchman emerged as a credible candidate earlier on this week and matters developed further on Thursday with WalesOnline exclusivley revealing the 51-year-old was set to team up with Bluebirds favourite Sol Bamba in the Welsh capital.

Bringing Bamba on board will be a popular move by the City hierarchy, who will now hope the management duo stave off the very real threat of Championship relegation.

With no game this weekend but a fixture against Luton Town taking place on Tuesday, an announcement is expected imminently.

We'll bring you the latest news throughout the day.
