Cardiff's managerial upheaval in stats

Since Vincent Tan took ownership of Cardiff City in May 2010, you would be forgiven for not remembering all the managers who have come and gone.

Twelve have been sacked and 11 hired in those 14 years, with Erol Bulut being the latest to go.

The upheaval has certainly thrown up some interesting stats and facts:

  • The average time a manager has spent in charge is 14 months (434 days)

  • Since Neil Warnock (pictured above left) departed in November 2019, the average time is just 10 months (289 days)

  • Six of the past 12 managers were sacked in under a year

  • Only four managers left the club in a better position than when they started – Malky Mackay (above right), Russell Slade, Neil Warnock and Steve Morrison

  • Six managers left Cardiff in a worse position than when they started – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (above centre), Paul Trollope, Neil Harris, Mick McCarthy, Mark Hudson and Erol Bulut

  • Only four of the 11 managers hired by Tan managed a full season from start to finish

What will the future hold for number 12?
