Former Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey ‘close to surprise move to Mexican side instead of taking Cardiff managerial role full-time’
Former Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey has reportedly agreed a deal to sign for Mexican side Club Universidad Nacional.
The 34-year-old was appointed caretaker manager of Cardiff for the final three games of the season.
He was tasked him with saving them from relegation after sacking Omer Riza but two draws and a defeat saw them drop down.
Ramsey’s playing contract with the club expires at the end of the month and Cardiff have dithered over whether to offer him the managerial role on a full-time basis.
And any hopes of that happening are seemingly over with PA reporting that he is set to sign with the Pumas.
Ramsey took on coaching duties in Cardiff’s academy since rejoining for his second spell.

He played for Arsenal between 2009 and 2019, making 369 appearances and scoring 64 goals.
A regular in midfield under Arsene Wenger, he helped the club win two FA Cups and scored in both finals.
He then had spells with Juventus, Rangers and Nice before signing for Cardiff in 2023.
Ramsey made just 11 appearances in all competitions last season with a hamstring injury keeping him on the sidelines for much of the campaign.
