Cardiff are expected to confirm the departure of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Thursday morning.
The Norwegian's eight-and-a-half-month reign at Cardiff was brought into sharp focus on Tuesday night with a 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough, the club's second home defeat in the space of four days.
The Welsh club are currently in 17th place in the Sky Bet Championship despite heavy summer investment in the squad which saw Solskjaer bring 10 players to the club.
