Neil Warnock: 'Cardiff City promotion biggest achievement of my career'

Neil Warnock claims that Cardiff City's final-day promotion to the Premier League is "the biggest achievement" of his 38-year career.

Neil Warnock has described Cardiff City's final-day promotion from the Championship as "the biggest achievement" of his career.

The Bluebirds played out a goalless draw with Reading which, combined with Fulham's 3-1 loss at Birmingham City, saw the Welsh side return to the Premier League after a four-year absence.

Warnock has not only overseen an eighth promotion, but has turned around a team which, upon his appointment 19 months ago, were second from bottom in the table.

"It's the biggest achievement in my 38-year career by an absolute mile," the 69-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"I've got a great bunch of lads. It's such a fabulous achievement, because nobody gave us a chance.

"It's amazing. I've had some great promotions and great squads, but because of the circumstances when I came here - second from bottom - and we've built it all the way up.

"It's an amazing feeling for a manager to know that you brought that together."

Cardiff, who have finished second in the table, join Championship winners Wolverhampton Wanderers in the top flight, while the playoffs will be contested by Fulham, Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Derby County.
