McCarthy Set to Be Named Cardiff Boss - Ipswich Town News

Former Blues boss Mick McCarthy is set to be named the new manager of Cardiff City.

The Bluebirds, 15th in the Championship, jettisoned Neil Harris on Thursday following six successive defeats.

McCarthy, who was sacked by Cypriot side APOEL after only two months early in January, is expected to be appointed within the next few days.

The 61-year-old left his previous job as head coach of the Republic of Ireland - his second stint in the role - in April last year having departed Portman Road after five and a half years in April 2018.
