" THE BOSS RUSSELL SLADE "

Russell Slade replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager in October 2014.

His move to south Wales came after over four years at Leyton Orient, who he had established as a force in Sky Bet League One.

Slade’s three-month reign at Cardiff has offered mixed results so far.

“He started off so well at home with a series of early wins, but results tailed off.”


“His critics believe Slade's reading of the game is too simple and coming from Orient many feel he doesn't have enough experience at the right level to handle a club like Cardiff. But he has steadied the ship somewhat after the disappointing tenure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.”

54-year-old Slade was previously a P.E. teacher before joining Notts County as a coach, and it was there where he tasted management for the first time as caretaker in 1994.

He took his first full-time post with Scarborough in 2001, before moving to Grimsby Town in 2004 and then Yeovil Town in 2006.

His success earned him the job at Brighton & Hove Albion in 2009, but he only lasted eight months before re-establishing his credentials with Orient.
