Cardiff have appointed former Fenerbahce boss Erol Bulut as their new manager.
The Bluebirds, who finished 21st in the Sky Bet Championship - five points above the drop zone - let Sabri Lamouchi go as head coach at the end of the season.
His replacement, Bulut, took unknown Turkish outfit Yeni Malatyaspor to fifth place in the Turkish Super Lig and the Europa League qualifiers. The 48-year-old most recently had spells at Fenerbahce and Gaziantep in the Turkish top flight
Cardiff owner Vincent Tan said in a statement: "Erol has vast experience both as a player and as a manager, having played Champions League football and managed European sides across 200 League games to date. This level of experience is needed at this time and I think will prove invaluable to the squad.
"Erol's enthusiasm and hunger for success impresses me greatly. When we spoke, it became clear that his intensity and hard work ethic matched the core cultural traits that I want our club to return to.
