Neil Warnock has decided to retire from management.
The 73-year-old left his most recent job at Championship sideBoro in November and has had a career that spans 41 years across 16 different clubs.
The record for most promotions in English football is held by Warnock with eight.
He told Sky Sports that he decided to have a rest.
More than 1,600 games were managed by Warnock.
At the age of 30, he retired from playing on the pitch after an 11-year playing career as a winger.
He was the first full-time manager of Gainsborough Trinity.
The tragic disappearance and death of Emiliano Sala, which was the worst week in football, was one of the reasons why Warnock took Cardiff to the top flight.
He was known as a tenacious leader who could bring a dressing room together and who never shied away from criticising referees.
Michael Brown, who played for Warnock at bothSheffield United andLeeds, paid tribute to his former boss.
He said that Neil was still trying to prove himself when he first met him.
We were down to 12,000 in the early days. We were able to get the club back to where it belonged.
Great passion for the game. He did things that did not upset people, but that was part of the make-up.
