Cardiff City have named Brian Barry-Murphy as their new head coach .

The 46-year-old leaves his coaching role at Leicester City to take charge at the Bluebirds following their relegation to League One.

Talks between the clubs concluded on Monday afternoon with the former Manchester City youth coach signing a three-year deal until the summer of 2028.

Current Manchester City academy coach Lee Riley has been named Barry-Murphy's assistant, having previously worked with him at Rochdale.

Owner Vincent Tan - who had the final say on the appointment - said Barry-Murphy was "the right man" to take the club forward.
