00:00Salford City's Carl Robinson has emerged as a contender for the Cardiff City manager's position.
00:08The Bluebirds are in search of a new manager following the dismissal of Omariza last month, with Aaron Ramsey stepping in as interim boss.
00:18Under Ramsey's leadership, Cardiff's relegation to League One was confirmed.
00:22Cardiff owner Vincent Tan reassured supporters last week that the search for a new manager is already underway.
00:30However, his statement did not suggest that additional appointments, such as a director of football, were imminent.
00:38Ramsey, whose own future is uncertain as his playing contract expires in the summer, has urged the club to act quickly in appointing a new manager and ensuring the right backroom staff are in place.
00:49I also think that is the way we can look at things in a bit more detail and address things and then putting things in place that need to be in place for us to be able to bounce back now and then to go on again.
01:03You know, you've seen it happen a load of times with different teams over the years and they have taken a step back to go on, to go forward again.
01:11So, you know, I feel like this is a great opportunity now for this club and it gives it a platform then to go on and to sort of, you know, that sort of launch platform.
01:21Carl Robinson has been linked with the job, according to Football Insider.
01:27The experienced football league manager has had lengthy stints at previous clubs, including MK Dons, Charlton, Oxford United and Salford City.
01:35At MK Dons, Robinson guided the team to promotion from League One in 2015, although they were relegated the following season.
01:44After leaving Oxford United in 2023, Robinson briefly worked as Sam Allardyce's assistants at Leeds United before taking over at Salford, where he kept the club safe from relegation in League Two after they were bottom of the table.
01:57Robinson, who had playing career with Welsh clubs, and Ryle has nearly 800 games under his belt as a manager.
02:08His vast experience in the EFL makes him a strong candidate for Cardiff's top job.
