Cardiff City new manager search Live: Bluebirds begin hunt for new boss immediately

Cardiff City today begin their search for a new manager after the Bluebirds parted company with Mark Hudson.

The announcement came after their disappointing 1-1 draw with Wigan on Saturday, with the club releasing a statement around an hour after the full-time whistle.

It read: "Cardiff City Football Club has relieved Mark Hudson of his duties as first team manager.

"The board of directors would like to place on record its thanks to Mark for all of his work as a player, coach and manager whilst with the Bluebirds. We wish Mark all the very best of luck for the future.

"At this time Dean Whitehead will take on the responsibility of interim first team manager. Tom Ramasut will remain as assistant manager and will be supported by goalkeeping coach Graham Stack.

"The club’s search for a new permanent manager will begin immediately."

Where Cardiff go from here, who knows at this stage. We'll keep you up to speed with all the developments today as the Bluebirds look for their third boss of the season.

Neil Warnock is the favourite at the time of writing.
