Solskjaer bids adieu to Cardiff

OLE Gunnar Solskjaer has stepped down as Cardiff City manager after less than eight months, following relegation from the English Premier League and a bad start to the new season, the club announced yesterday.

The former Manchester United and Norway international took over in January from Malky Mackay with the team just outside the bottom three places but was unable to prevent it finishing last.

Controversial Malaysian owner Vincent Tan kept faith with him for the new season but the club said it had now decided on an amicable parting of ways. “Our difference in philosophy on how to manage the club made me decide to step aside and allow the club to move forward in the direction Vincent wants,” Solskjaer said in a statement on the club website.

In the Championship (second tier) this season the Welsh club is in the bottom eight after winning only two of its opening seven matches.
