Aaron Ramsey (34) of Cardiff City, who was in his prime at Arsenal, has been appointed as his team's interim coach even though he is an active player. Cardiff City replaced Omer Riza (45) of Turkey and chose Ramsey, who has a lot of experience, as its interim head.
"We are replacing Liza. Ramsey will lead the remaining three league matches, and the first is a home game against Oxford United," Cardiff City said on its website on Wednesday (Korea time). Chris Gunter, Tom Hutton (Wales), Joe Rals, Matthew Blocksom and Gavin Ward (England) will assist Ramsey as interim coach.
Cardiff City, which was once in the English Premier League, is on the verge of collapse in the third division. Currently, the team ranks 23rd out of 24 teams in the English Football League (EFL) Championship. Early in the season, the team sacked Erul Bulut (50, Türkiye) and handed over the baton to Liza, but with no signs of improving performance, it offered a hard card again.
Cardiff City, which has three more games left to survive, made an unconventional choice. He handed over the baton to Ramsey, an experienced veteran midfielder. Cardiff City vice-captain Ramsey is still continuing his career this season, appearing in 10 official matches. After being out for the season due to a hamstring injury he suffered last month, he was tasked with leading his teammates off the field.
Cardiff City, which has no win in its last five league games, is aiming to turn the tables in its remaining three games. It has a good chance of surviving as the remaining 21st-ranked Derby County is only one point apart. Ramsay will make his debut as interim manager against Oxford United at 19th. He will then meet eighth-ranked West Bromwich Albion and 13th-ranked Norwich City.
A former Welsh national team player, Ramsey made his professional debut in Cardiff City in 2006. After moving to Arsenal in 2008, he played as a key player under coach Arsène Wenger of France. Ramsey was a box-to-box midfielder, displaying robust performance and aggressive capabilities. During the 2013-14 season, he scored 16 goals and nine assists in 34 matches, making him an ace player.
Ramsey, who played 369 games in 11 years for Arsenal and scored 64 goals and 60 assists, ended his long relationship by moving to Juventus in 2019. After that, he returned to Cardiff City in 2023 after passing through Rangers and Nice. Despite receiving a huge offer from the Saudi Arabian club at the time, he rejected it and chose his former team Cardiff City, drawing great attention. 바카라
Ramsey is widely known among Korean soccer fans as well. Not only did he play for Arsenal, but he also suffered a missed penalty kick against Korea during the 2012 London Olympics. At the time, Korea, where goalkeeper Lee Bum-young blocked Ramsey from kicking, beat a unified British team to win the bronze medal.
