Neil Harris has been appointed as the new manager of Cardiff City.

The ex-Millwall boss, 42, has signed until the summer of 2022 and replaces Neil Warnock, 70, after he parted company with the club last week.

Harris will be joined by his former Millwall assistant David Livermore, while coaches James Rowberry and Andy Dibble will remain at the club.

However, first-team coach Ronnie Jepson and Warnock's assistant manager Kevin Blackwell will leave.

Rowberry will take over as first-team coach at the Championship side, while Dibble continues as goalkeeping coach.

Harris' first game in charge will be the trip to Charlton Athletic on Saturday, 23 November and he will make his home debut three days later when the Bluebirds host Stoke City.

Cardiff owner Vincent Tan said: "I am pleased to appoint Neil as first-team manager of the club.

"I have full confidence in Neil due to his principles on and off the pitch and enthusiasm to succeed. I am glad to offer him this opportunity and look forward to seeing what he is capable of achieving with Cardiff City."

Former striker Harris, who made a full recovery after being diagnosed with testicular cancer aged 23 in 2001, scored 138 goals over two spells with Millwall as a player.

He took over as caretaker manager at The Den in March 2015 following their relegation to League One and guided the Lions to promotion back to the second tier in 2017, after reaching the League One play-off final for a second consecutive season.

Under his stewardship the London club reached the FA Cup quarter-finals twice, in 2017 and 2019.

Harris, who briefly played on loan for Cardiff in December 2004, stepped down as boss at The Den in October 2019 after a seven-match winless streak left Millwall five points above the relegation zone.

Cardiff are 14th in the Championship, eight points above the relegation places but seven points shy of the play-offs.

Obviously the club took no notice of the negative comments on here - more's the pity.

I got there through the lovely blue linky in your post..well the one you quoted.

Edit. ****ing awful appointment.
Thought we were clear as we’d had no appt by the weekend.

Here’s to hoping he goes on a crazy win streak to win around thousands of fans who will be baffled by this shite decision.

Years more of hoofball.

Didn’t work for me in OP only when you quoted it.

Agreed.
Basically appointed because Warnock told them too.
Pathetic from the board. No ambition and Dalman talking out of his arse as usual about going for a more offensive thinking manager.

Think I ****ed it up cause I’m on mobile but I can click it through your quoted post so who knows.

Anyway, contract until 2022 and he’s brought his assistant from Millwall over.

****ing rubbish!! What a complete waste of a season - will have to appoint someone again in Jan/Feb because this nobber is not going to turn this ship around.

[Heathblue]

I don't think this will inspire the stay away brigade. But give the bloke a chance it might turn out to be a good appointment.

[Stavross1927]

This appointment honestly smacks of a recommendation from Warnock.

Wish you the best Neil but can’t see that this appointment will bring anything but more hoofball. Hopefully it’ll bring success.

[headlight]

Warnock back in January to save us from the drop

[dembethewarrior]

Honestly ****ing depressed by this announcement.

Joke.

Smacks of someone being unemployed and cheap

Only the appointment of John Hartson as manager assisted by Leighton James would be greeted with less enthusiasm than this hump it and hope Millwall wanker.
