Claude Makélélé could bounce back very quickly after his departure from Asteras Tripolis in Greece. The 51-year-old Frenchman is in advanced discussions with Cardiff City, bottom of the Championship (English D2), to take over as head of the team. The Welsh club recently fired their coach Erol Bulut after a disastrous start to the season (5 points in 9 days, with a goal difference of -14). The recruitment of an experienced coach seems crucial to breathe new life into the team.
Claude Makélélé towards Cardiff City?
According to reliable sources, Makélélé could sign with Cardiff City in the coming days. The Welsh club, relegated from the Premier League in 2019, is looking to revive after a series of poor results. Foot Mercato has confirmed that the former defensive midfielder is in talks to become the club’s new coach. With his experience as a high-level player and coach, Makélélé could bring the discipline and rigor that Cardiff need to get out of this impasse.
