Cardiff City have named Neil Harris as their new manager.
The former Millwall boss succeeds Neil Warnock in the Bluebirds hot seat following the Yorkshireman's departure by mutual consent on Monday.
The move ends days of speculation, with Harris and Charlton boss Lee Bowyer the two front-runners for the job for most of the week.
Mark Hughes was another name to have been mentioned, and was at one point the bookies' favourite to take the job.
However, the Bluebirds board have opted to go with Harris.
