Nathan Jones has been installed as the early favourite to succeed Sabri Lamouchi at Cardiff City.
The Bluebirds are on the lookout for their third manager in six months after they released a statement confirming Lamouchi would depart upon the expiration of his contract next month.
And lifelong Cardiff fan Jones, who has been hailed for his work at Luton Town but failed at bigger clubs Stoke City and Southampton, is the bookmakers' favourite to take the reins.
