"Along with my coaching team, my squad of players and the many hard working people at the club I look forward to the future as we aim to bring success to this club.

"We are sure that all Cardiff supporters and partners will join us in celebrating this news as we push to make history on two fronts this season."

Bluebirds chairman Dato' Chan Tien Ghee said: "We are honoured to see Malky commit himself to our great club for the long term.
