Ex-Leeds United boss Neil Warnock favourite for Cardiff City job ahead of Elland Road cup replay

Neil Warnock is the bookmakers' favourite to become the next Cardiff City manager, after Mark Hudson was relieved of his duties following a 1-1 draw against relegation rivals Wigan Athletic on Saturday.

The Bluebirds have failed to register a single win in their last seven games in all competitions, and sit just three points clear of the relegation zone in 21st place.

Ex-Leeds manager Warnock guided Cardiff to the Premier League during his three-year spell in the Welsh capital, and has recently been tipped to return to his former club.

Hudson denied the rumours surrounding Warnock last week, but they've resurfaced once again since his sacking. Warnock is currently 5/2 to succeed Hudson, while Dean Smith, Chris Wilder, Leam Richardson and Dean Whitehead are available at 8/1 on Bet Victor.

Cardiff travel to Elland Road to face Leeds in the FA Cup third round replay on Wednesday, after the Whites came from two goals behind to draw 2-2 at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Warnock retired from management last year after a career that spanned five decades at 16 different clubs. The 74-year-old has recently hinted at a return to management 14 months after leaving his last role at Middlesbrough in November 2021.

Next Cardiff City manager odds (Bet Victor)

Neil Warnock (5/2)

Dean Smith (8/1)

Chris Wilder (8/1)

Leam Richardson (8/1)

Dean Whitehead (8/1)

Odds correct at time of writing
