Pep Guardiola's former sidekick set to rival ex-Arsenal star for huge League One job... despite suffering relegation with Premier League club last season
Leicester City first team coach Brian Barry-Murphy has emerged as a contender to become the next manager of Cardiff City. The 46-year old is also on the shortlists at Plymouth Argyle and Bristol City. Barry-Murphy has forged a solid reputation after being thrust into management at Rochdale before moving to Manchester City where he worked as manager of their Elite Development Squad and won consecutive Premier League 2 titles helping players such as Cole Palmer, Romeo Lavia and CJ Egan-Riley. Pep Guardiola leant on him for character references for the youngsters coming through and also asked him to help with first-team training. The former Republic of Ireland U21 international midfielder joined Leicester last summer, initially alongside Steve Cooper, but stayed on to work with Ruud van Nistelrooy. Cardiff suffered relegation to League One last season, coming 24th in the Championship. Their ownership is determined to return at the first attempt. Aaron Ramsey, who has an offer to carry on playing with UNAM Pumas in Mexico, has also pitched for the manager's job on a permanent basis.
