Cardiff remain bottom of the Championship, but the 1-1 draw with Bristol City made it four points from the 44-year-old’s three games at the helm. Riza says he does not know if h

Omer Riza has said he is "hopeful" over getting the manager position at Cardiff City on a permanent basis and has told the board to "look no further" if they want to appoint a younger boss. The club has tended to flip and flop between older, experienced managers and those in the infancy of their careers in the dugout in recent years.

Omer Riza shared his thoughts after City earned a point in the Severnside derby at Ashton Gate. "The boys played really well." Omer began. "They played with energy and they played with character. We wanted to try and dominate the ball at times, and I feel we've done that in certain instances of the game.

Cardiff’s interim boss was in the dugout as part of Bulut’s staff for the draw at Swansea City in August. And while he has only been working in south Wales since the summer, the former Watford coach insists he knows the significance of the Bristol City fixture. “It’s a massive game, a derby,” Riza said.

Omer Riza says he is taking things game by game after being installed as Cardiff City interim manager. After Erol Bulut left last week, the search began for the Turkish boss' successor, with several names mentioned in connection with the post.

Interim coach Omer Riza wants to be Cardiff's next permanent manager after the Sky Bet Championship's bottom side suffered a 4-1 defeat at Hull. The Bluebirds are without a league win, without a boss and have suffered their worst start to a season in 94 years.

Riza will remain in charge for Sunday’s Championship match at Bristol City and, although he has not been given any guidance from the Cardiff board about his future prospects, the ex-Leyton Orient coach believes he has put himself in contention to get the job permanently.
