Cardiff City interim manager Omer Riza believes he has done all he can to get the job on a permanent basis, but knows his team must sustain their improved form.
In his four matches in charge since Erol Bulut was sacked last month, Riza has led Cardiff to their only two league wins of the season, moving them off the bottom of the Championship table.
Having managed only four goals
Riza joined Cardiff in the summer after spending almost six years at Watford, where he had been promoted to assistant first-team coach after several years in the club’s academy.
Asked if the potential opportunity to manage Cardiff in the event they sacked Bulut had been part of his motivation to take the job, Riza added: “I never like to go into any environment thinking this would happen.

Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna is no longer in contention to become Chelsea’s next manager.
The 38-year-old was on an early shortlist of candidates to replace Mauricio Pochettino after he left the club by mutual consent last week.

Stoke have announced the departure of nine players, most notably full-back Tom Edwards, who has been released after coming to the end of the four-and-a-half year deal he signed in October 2019.
Edwards has not played for the Potters since January 2020 and, following loan moves to Fleetwood and New York Red Bulls, has been out of action since getting injured while on loan again at Barnsley at the
It is believed that the attacking style of Slot’s teams, his personality and his ability to develop players are key factors in making him Liverpool’s preferred candidate.
He took over as Feyenoord manager in 2021 and confirmed his interest in managing in the Premier League when he was linked with Spurs in 2023.

Norwich City defender Shane Duffy says the club never stopped believing it would be a successful season, even at their lowest point in November.
But the Canaries are now firmly on course for a play-off place following five wins in their past seven games.
“We believed the whole time. The question marks probably came from outsiders,” said Duffy.
“It’s a
