Although Cardiff City’s fortunes initially improved under caretaker boss Omer Riza – who has since remained in the role until the end of the 2024-25 season – the club departed on Saturday in pursuit of promotion. Cardiff City are second from bottom in the Championship ahead of Dersburg (15:00 GMT).
