Erol Bulut Live updates as Cardiff City boss set to sign new contract

Erol Bulut is set to stay at Cardiff City.

It's a saga that's dragged on for quite some time. Indeed it was lurking in the wings even before the final ball was kicked nearly a month ago.

Now, it appears we are now on the brink of a resolution, with the Turkish coach now poised to pen an extension to his initial 12-month deal. Sign up to our Cardiff City newsletter here.

The news will come as a relief to many supporters, who were understandably pondering the thought of once again facing another summer of upheaval in the capital. Bulut had guided City 12th last term, a marked improvement on previous campaigns.

It's understood Cardiff could well confirm the move later today, and we'll have all the latest from the capital here.
