(Reuters) - Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan backed manager Malky Mackay on Friday and confirmed that the club's head of recruitment Iain Moody had left the Premier League newcomers.

British media reported this week that Mackay's position was under scrutiny after Moody, a key member of his backroom staff, was placed on leave, with some reports suggesting the manager had been asked to resign, something the club have denied.
