Nathan Jones has spoken of his desire to return to management having been named the early favourite to take over from Sabri Lamouchi at Cardiff City. The former Southampton boss has been linked with the Bluebirds after they confirmed Lamouchi would leave the club upon the expiration of his contract next month.
With the club now looking for its third manager in six months, Jones, who was sacked by the Saints earlier this year, is understood to be on their radar. A lifelong Cardiff fan, the Welshman had previously impressed at Luton Town, taking them from League Two to the Championship play-offs during two stints in charge at Kenilworth Road.
Despite his previous success, a disastrous spell at St Mary's saw him sacked after just 14 games with Southampton bottom of the Premier League. However, Jones insists he is now "refreshed and ready" to return to the hot seat and has set his sights on building a project at a club in a statement that is bound to have caught the attention of those at the Cardiff City Stadium.
