Cardiff City Appoints Omer Riza as Manager

Cardiff City has appointed Omer Riza as their First Team Manager until the end of the season, following a period of uncertainty after the dismissal of Erol Bulut. Riza, who initially took charge as interim manager in September, managed to lift the team from the bottom of the Championship table to 12th place, accumulating 16 points in 12 matches. Although his recent form has been concerning, with five matches without a win, club owner Vincent Tan expressed confidence in Riza's ability to develop the squad and improve their playing style. Riza has received support from both players and management, with a focus on climbing the Championship table and fostering youth within the team. He expressed excitement about continuing his role and thanked the board for their faith in him. The decision comes after weeks of indecision from the club's board amid criticism from fans and former players regarding the managerial situation.
