New Cardiff City boss Paul Trollope misses start of Wales camp to meet Vincent Tan


Paul Trollope missed the start of Wales' pre-Euro 2016 training camp to have his first meeting with Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan.

The new Bluebirds boss is also part of Chris Coleman's Wales coaching team.

Trollope was appointed on 18 May and flew to Malaysia for his first meeting with Tan and will rejoin the national squad in Portugal later in the week.


Trollope will stay with Wales throughout the European Championship, but Coleman believes Trollope is unlikely to be able to do both jobs after the tournament.

The first meeting between Trollope as manager and the sometimes controversial Tan was positive as the new head coach prepares to put his own backroom staff together at the Cardiff City Stadium :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Interesting.

So Tan never met with Trollope before appointing him?

I suppose they may have conducted an interview via Skype.

I wonder if Tan had any involvement with the "interviews" of the other potential managers?

In all honesty I'm glad to hear he is putting cardiff city first before joining up with the Welsh squad, we need total commitment from trollope if we are to succeed.
