Cardiff City chairman Mehmet Dalman has revealed that Neil Warnock will remain as manager of the Bluebirds next season, as they will seek to secure promotion back to the top flight.
The club was relegated back to the Championship, prompting rumours that Warnock may be sacked.
However, Dalman has confirmed (via BBC Sport) that Warnock will retain his position in the dugout at the Cardiff City Stadium, to allow him to pursue a record ninth promotion.
Dalman said:

Warnock is a hugely popular figure at the club, having helped transform their fortunes since arriving in October 2016. After finishing 12th in the Championship in his first season in charge, Warnock worked his magic and achieved his eighth promotion to the Premier League the following year.
77 - "One Neil Warnock..." rings out from the away end. Amazing support as always, #Bluebirds!
