The Bluebirds, who ended Jones' six-year managerial reign on 30 May, have already held a number of interviews with potential candidates but will continue to speak to possible contenders this week.

Chairman Dato Chan Tien Ghee has flown in from Malaysia for talks with chief executive Gethin Jenkins and director Alan Whiteley, who are leading Cardiff's managerial search, to complete the deal for Jones' replacement.

The new man at the helm will face a hefty rebuilding process at the club, with 12 players having left last season's squad

"Until the appointment is made it would be inappropriate for us to discuss speculation or confirm whether we have met any specific candidates."
