By on December 25, 2013

Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan’s rocky relationship with Cardiff fans has taken another twist after reports confirmed that the Malaysian businessman has taken over control and management of Bosnia Premier League club FK Sarajevo. After Tan already angered fans with his poor handling of manager Malky Mackay, the controversial owner has signed the £1.2m deal in which Cardiff will exchange player with Sarajevo while also forming a joint youth academy.

“We have signed an agreement which defines the investment and management rights in accordance to the club’s statute and legislation that is in force in Bosnia,” Sarajevo’s general director, Dino Selimovic, told Reuters.
