Premier League Cardiff City sack manager Malky Mackay

Posted on December 28, 2013 by SoccerPunter

English Premier League club Cardiff City have sacked its manager Malky Mackay on Friday.

The home defeat to Southampton was the final nail in the coffin for Mackay.

Cardiff City is at 16th position in Premier League table. They have a total of 4 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses.

Despite leading Cardiff to promotion at Premier League, Mackay did not have the luxury of time to prove his managerial skills in his first season at top flight.

There has been ongoing rumours that Malaysian owner Vincent Tan had demanded Mackay to resign or face the axe.

Mackay’s request for a face to face meeting with Vincent Tan was turned down.

Mackay became the sixth manager to be dismissed in Premier League this season. Earlier this month, Andre Villas-Boas was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur.
