Cardiff City announced on Friday that ex Nottingham Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi is the new manager at the football club.

Lamouchi, 51, has managed at international level with the Ivory Coast where he worked with Sol Bamba. 

He was highly respected at Forest and almost took them into the play offs when he missed out on the last day. That season he was the first man to manage the club for a whole season in 9 years.

Lamouchi's first game will be the away fixture at Luton on Tuesday

Tan Sri Vincent Tan told the club's website: “I’d like to welcome Sabri to Cardiff City and offer him my full support. His appointment has come about following a period of serious consideration and reflection as to what is the best for our Club.

“I’m confident that Sabri will be able to deliver what we know this squad is capable of achieving and I look forward to the games that we have ahead of us.

“I’d also like to welcome back Sol to Sabri’s coaching staff, a sentiment I know that you will share. I want to thank Dean, Tom and Graham for their commitment and diligence during the interim period and am pleased that they will be part of our plans going forward.”
