Ramsey has no frontline management experience, but has had coaching ambitions for some time, with Welsh boss Craig Bellamy being turned over as someone who can work at a high level at the end of his performance career.
86 Cap International will become the third man in the Cardiff Duggout this season. Errol’s aging was at the helm before he was fired after opening six games and scoring one point as the club endured the worst start of the season.
Former Watford coach Liza was drafted last summer to support Bratt, but was initially appointed on a caretaker basis, then signed a contract until the end of December.
However, he is under increasing pressure as Cardiff cannot pull himself out of trouble. It is believed that some of the club’s hierarchies looked at changes last month. Former manager Neil Warnock is considered an alternative solely to maintain the support of owner Vincent Tan.
However, the club took action with a late bid to avoid falling into tier 3 for the first time since 2002 as fans are asking for Liza to be removed in Friday’s 2-0 defeat at Bramall Lane (the fifth game without a victory).
Cardiff hopes that Ramsey’s appointment, one of the club’s most decorated youth products, will at least mess up supporters ahead of the final matchup against Oxford, West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City.
The midfielder became the club’s youngest player after breaking into his first team at the age of 16 in 2007, moving to Premier League Arsenal, winning the FA Cup twice.
He returned to his boyhood club in 2023 after spells in Juventus and Nice, but his impact on the field was limited due to injuries.
Ramsey was removed from play involvement during championship run-in after undergoing surgery for a hamstring injury last month in a loss to Luton Town.
He has worked at the club’s academy when he returned to South Wales, but also provides Riza’s tactical analysis from the game during the layoffs of previous injuries at the beginning of the season.
