Swedish Manager Freyr Alexandersson Expresses Interest in Coaching Cardiff City as Erol Bulut’s Successor

Freyr Alexandersson, the manager of KV Kortrijk’s ‘sister club,’ has expressed his desire to take charge of Cardiff City. Alexandersson has received recognition for his ability to save teams from relegation in both Denmark and Belgium, having previously led Lyngby to promotion back to the top flight and securing their safety in their first season.

As Erol Bulut’s future at Cardiff remains uncertain, Alexandersson has revealed that he is interested in managing a team in British football. He has had previous discussions with the Bluebirds’ management and expressed his dream of coaching the team in either the Championship or Premier League. With his successful track record as a manager of both women’s and men’s national teams in Iceland, Alexandersson could be a valuable addition to Cardiff’s coaching staff.

During his time at Kortrijk, Alexandersson helped turn around a struggling team that had only earned 10 points from their first 20 games. Through careful management and strategic planning, he was able to orchestrate a survival mission that culminated in a win over Leuven in the relegation play-off. Several players who played under Alexandersson at KVK later joined Cardiff on loan, including Isaak Davies and Seyi Ojo. January signing Ryotaro Tsunoda also joined Kortrijk from Yokohama Marinos to gain experience in European football.

Cardiff’s ties to Kortrijk are strong through ownership and player loans, so the potential appointment of Alexanderson as their manager could signal a new chapter for the club. With his experience and successes as a manager, he could bring fresh ideas and energy to Cardiff City and help them achieve their goals on the field.
