Cardiff City is on the verge of appointing a new manager after their relegation to League One, with the club's chairman and CEO finalizing recommendations for owner Vincent Tan. Nathan Jones, currently with Charlton Athletic, is a top contender despite potential compensation costs because he recently guided Charlton to promotion. Other candidates include Des Buckingham, Ian Evatt, and Leicester's Brian Barry-Murphy. The board is divided on whether to prioritize experienced managers or explore new options, while Aaron Ramsey, who managed the club temporarily, is also in the mix.
Chairman Mehmet Dalman and chief executive Ken Choo have spoken to the candidates and presented their recommendations to owner Vincent Tan, who will have the final say.
Jones has been a leading contender since Cardiff sacked previous manager Omer Riza in April, but hiring the Welshman would mean having to pay Charlton a significant compensation fee.
