Former Wales and Derby County midfielder Paul Trollope has been added to Russell Slade's backroom staff at Cardiff City as head coach.

It's a good appointment as long as Russell Slade has picked him. That's the important part because the relationship between the coach and manager has to be right. |
Trollope's arrival comes as Kevin Nicholson was made Under-21 manager following Quinton Fortune's departure.
The former Manchester United player had been in the role since July 2014 when he had been called in by former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Swindon-born Trollope won nine caps for Wales between 1997 and 2003.
He was a guest in the Chairman's Suite for Cardiff City's 0-0 home draw with Brighton on Tuesday night.
