All three of Vincent Tan's clubs have now changed managers this season, with the latest sacking at struggling KV Kortrijk this morning.


Tan sacks another manager

Vincent Tan-owned Belgian club KV Kortrijk have announced the sacking of manager Adnan Custovic.

Kortrijk are 17th out of 18 teams in the Belgian top flight and are currently embroiled in a relegation battle. A situation Cardiff fans would concede they find themselves in.



All of Tan's clubs have seen some sort of turmoil this season, with Kortrijk, Cardiff and FK Sarajevo all having changed managers since the start of the campaign.

Cardiff City have had 5 new managers in the last 3 years and 12 managers in the last 12 years.


Cardiff and Kortrijk are battling near the foot of their respective tables. Kortrijk had appointed Custovic only in July of this year and he had signed a deal up until 2024, with an option of a further year.



"KVK ends its collaboration with Adnan Custovic," Kortrijk wrote today. "This morning, KVK stopped the collaboration with head coach Adnan Custovic & assistant coach Gunter Van Handenhoven.

"KV Kortrijk is working on a successor as soon as possible."

This is no coincidence that’s for sure. Tan continuous makes the wrong managerial appointments. How many managers have been successful here recently? How many have left Cardiff and gone on to better themselves? I love Huds but no championship club would take him as a manager!

Totally agree!
It would be intresting to see out of our last 12 managers how many are currently in football employment and if they are at what level?

I think that will show what plan we have ?????

Look down the road and see what managers have gone onto bigger clubs? It shows it not just about spending money but good scouts and plans with a list of suitable managers for the club. As one moves on you already have a target lined up. Something we just dont have. Also the state we in ! Sacking managers! Can we attract the talent? I think not they will probabley wait for a more suitable offer.
