For Cardiff City, the 2025/2026 campaign will begin not with fanfare but with the sobering reality of EFL League One football.
The Bluebirds, who finished 24th in the EFL Championship and conceded the second most goals in the league (73), face a summer of soul-searching and renewal.
The departures of key figures, such as Aaron Ramsey to Pumas UNAM and Dimitrios Goutas to Gençlerbirliği, further highlighted the scale of the challenge ahead.
Yet, with adversity comes opportunity, a chance to reshape the club’s identity and future.
The Cardiff board’s selection of Brian Barry-Murphy as the new manager is more than a pragmatic appointment; it signals a philosophical shift towards long-term development, tactical modernity, and a renewed commitment to an attractive, progressive brand of football.
This tactical analysis will examine Brian Barry-Murphy style of play and coaching philosophy, along with his journey as a coach and what CCFC supporters can expect from their new manager.
Belgium has long been renowned for producing dynamic attacking talent, including the legendary Eden Hazard, Dries Mertens, and Jeremy Doku.
Now, Jesse Bisiwu is the latest promising winger to emerge from this rich footballing tradition.
A product of Club Brugge’s respected youth academy, Bisiwu has already made an impact at a young age thanks to his fearless style and blistering pace.
At just 15, he played for Club NXT in the Challenger Pro League, turning heads with moments like a brilliant solo goal against Beveren and a decisive injury-time winner against RFC Liège.
However, at the recent U17 European Championship, Bisiwu truly stood out, emerging as one of Belgium’s key attackers alongside talents like Noah Fernandez and Ali Camara.
In an era when wingers are expected to do more than just score, Bisiwu’s blend of speed, technical skill, and determination makes him a player to watch.
This scout report highlights why he is rapidly gaining recognition both domestically and on the international stage.
