Neil Harris has been selected as the man tasked with improving Cardiff City's fortunes this campaign following Neil Warnock's departure from the club last week.

The 70-year-old saw his three-year managerial reign in South Wales come to an end last Monday when he left the club by mutual consent, with the Bluebirds languishing at 14th place in the Championship table.

The Bluebirds have been underwhelming since their relegation from the Premier League last term, and the 1-0 defeat to Severnside rivals Bristol City earlier this month proved to be the final bow for Warnock.

Harris was confirmed as Cardiff boss on Saturday afternoon after holding talks with the club's hierarchy, and he will now be looking to freshen things up in the Welsh capital after Warnock's set-up became stale towards the end of his reign.

The new Cardiff boss met the media for the first time on Monday morning, and he claimed that he wants to form an aggressive side in South Wales, while he will also work to develop a pathway between the academy and first team.

This latter comment should come as particularly encouraging news for Cardiff fans, as this is a feature that was distinctly lacking during Warnock's reign with there being few academy players making the step up to the first team.

The former Bluebirds boss persisted with a similar set of players throughout his three years at the club, as he chose to place his trust in the more experienced stars rather than any of the club's youth talent.

This means that youth is a clear area Harris can target for improvement in order to win over any of his doubters, and he also has previous experience of establishing this pathway at Millwall, as he was involved in the youth set-up before he became the club's first-team boss around four years ago.

Cardiff supporters will be hoping the 42-year-old can now develop a similar youth framework in South Wales, as the club is now falling behind its rivals in terms of youth production and this is becoming an increasing concern.

The promotion of academy talent is one simple way that Harris can convince Cardiff fans that he is the right man for the job, while this is also a strategy which could help significantly improve the relationship between the players and fanbase.
