Cardiff City first team coach Kevin Nicholson is to take charge of the club’s under-21 development team following the departure of Quniton Fortune.
Nicholson will retain his first team matchday duties alongside Russell Slade and Scott Young, while also becoming under-21 team manager.
He will work alongside development team coach Nilton Terroso.
It follows the departure of Fortune, who worked with Terroso at under-21 level, has left the club.

They are top of the Premier Development League South.
Hill’s winner came from a penalty after Tyler Roche was fouled.
Their next match, when Nicholson will be in charge, is against Charlton Athletic at Cardiff City Stadium next Monday (7pm).
Cardiff City Development: C Horton, J Barnum-Bobb, T James, C Watkins, D Tutonda, T Wharton, B Watkins, A Bell, M Southam, T Roche, G Hill.
