Update: 13.11.24

Cardiff City may soon make a decision on whether they will stick with interim boss Omer Riza or look elsewhere for a permanent successor to Erol Bulut.

Upturn in fortunes

Cardiff City got their 2024/25 Championship campaign off to a dreadful start with just one point collected from their opening six league outings. On the back of this dismal form, it came as no surprise when the club decided to part ways with Erol Bulut and his departure proved to be the catalyst for an immediate upturn in fortunes. Interim boss Omer Riza steered his side to three wins from his opening four games at the helm, however the Bluebirds have suffered defeat in each of their last two and find themselves back in the Championship relegation zone, albeit on goal difference.

Obvious choice

Cardiff will soon need to make a decision on whether or not to appoint Riza on a permanent basis and the most recent results won’t have helped his cause. Nevertheless, the expectation is that the interim boss will be appointed as permanent successor to Bulut with the leading UK betting sites going as low as 1/20 that he is handed the post. This in no way means that he will actually be given the position but it is a fair indication that he is the most obvious choice to take the reins at the South Wales club.

Plaudits

As things stand, Riza has no idea what the future holds with regard to him being appointed on a permanent basis by Cardiff, however having lifted the club from the foot of the Championship table at a point when they had collected just a single point from their opening six games, he has earned for himself many plaudits for the way in which he has unlocked the potential of the young players and implemented an exciting style of football along the way.

1/20 – Omer Riza

14/1 – Tony Mowbray

16/1 – Ruben Selles

20/1 – Slaven Bilic

Update: 25.10.24

Following a dreadful start to the season, Cardiff City dispensed with the services of manager Erol Bulut and they are still on the hunt for a suitable replacement to take charge.

Dreadful start

Since interim boss Omer Riza took the reins, Cardiff have enjoyed some blistering form with three wins from their last four league games and no defeats during that time. This form has lifted them from the foot of the Championship table to 20th position and the bookies have installed the interim boss as firm favourite to be handed the position on a permanent basis at a best price of just 1/3.

Swing the board

Ahead of a tough meeting with West Bromwich Albion this coming weekend, Riza is hopeful that results on the pitch can swing the club board in his favour and there is every reason to believe that this will indeed be the case. The 44-year-old has made it clear that he would like the job permanently but thus far he has been given no indications as to whether or not the club hierarchy are prepared to appoint him as Bulut’s replacement.

Other short-priced contenders

Next in the betting is Tony Mowbray who is a 6/1 shot to take charge at the South Wales club while Ruben Selles is the only other contender priced at single figures at best odds of 8/1.

09.10.24

Cardiff City sit at the foot of the Championship table after one rounds of league fixtures and the South Wales club are desperately searching for a suitable manager who can turn things around as soon as possible.

Foot of the division

With just a single point collected from their opening six league games, it came as no huge surprise when Cardiff City decided to part company with Erol Bulut last month. Nevertheless, with the side sitting at the foot of the division after nine Championship outings, a successor to Bulut has yet to be announced. In his three games in charge thus far, interim manager Omer Riza has overseen one win, one draw and one defeat although the 44-year-old doesn’t know if he will be given the chance to take the position on a permanent basis.

Mutual consent

At the time of writing, former Watford, West Bromwich Albion and West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic is the man deemed most likely to take the reins at Cardiff City with some bookies going as low as 5/2 (best odds 3/1) that this proves to be the case. Bilic’s most recent position was with Al-Fateh and he left the Saudi Arabian outfit by mutual consent during the summer after spending a little over twelve months with the club.

Other contenders

Next in the betting is interim manager Omer Riza who is priced as low as 4/1 (best odds 5/1) to take charge on a full-time basis while Ryan Lowe – sacked by Preston North End after just a single league game – and Steven Schumacher – recently dismissed by Stoke City – are priced at best odds of 11/2 apiece.
