"It is a fantastic challenge. Cardiff are ready to take the next step up. I hope I can help them," said Solskjaer, who replaces the sacked Malky Mackay.

"I've always dreamt of being a manager in the Premier League and I'm delighted to get the opportunity.

"I am really looking forward to convincing the Cardiff fans that I am the right man to take them forward.

"I will try to convince the fans with my hard work, loyalty and my brand of football. I'm a very positive manager."
