Cardiff have prepared to try and persuade former boss Neil Warnock out of retirement if results don’t improve under Mark Hudson… with the Bluebirds just two points off the Championship relegation zone
- Mark Hudson has won just four of his 16 games in charge of Cardiff City
- The Bluebirds are just two points off the relegation zone after a recent defeat
- Cardiff could try to replace Hudson with former manager Neil Warnock
- Warnock announced his retirement in April after a 41-year managerial career
Mark Hudson is coming under pressure as Cardiff manager with the club ready to try to persuade former boss Neil Warnock out of retirement if results do not improve.
The Bluebirds have not won in the Championship since November 5 and are just two points clear of the relegation zone after defeat at Blackburn in the latest round of matches. They also operate under a transfer embargo.
Hudson was named caretaker-boss in September following the sacking of Steve Morison and was then given the role until the end of the campaign. He has won just four of his 16 games in charge, collecting 17 points in that time.
Cardiff could look to tempt Neil Warnock out of retirement if their poor form continues
Warnock, 74, announced his retirement in April after a managerial career spanning 41 years at 16 clubs.
One of his greatest achievements was leading Cardiff to the top flight in his first spell at the club from 2016-19.
Cardiff face Leeds in the FA Cup on Sunday before a crucial game against bottom-of-the-table Wigan at home on January 14.
Mark Hudson has managed just four wins in 16 matches since replacing Steve Morison
That is followed by matches against Millwall and Luton, both pushing for the play-offs.
Top scorer Callum Robinson appeared furious during the defeat at Blackburn, with Hudson admitting he apologized to his players afterwards for switching to a three-man defense at Ewood Park.
He said: ‘We had an honest conversation there. I am honest with them. They are loyal to me. I’m sorry. I’ve said with the change of shape, I thought we could create more but it turned out not to be, nothing glaring.’
