Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can be a success at Cardiff City.
The Norwegian, who was present at the Emirates Stadium as the Bluebirds fell to a 2-0 defeat, is expected to be named as Malky Mackay's successor later on today.
"Cardiff has the basic ingredients to survive in the Premier League," the Frenchman told Sky Sports News. "You would say if you look at their record they need to add a bit more goals offensively to stay in the league.
"If he can find that in the final third something clinical like he was, then they will stay in the league because they have the basic quality to do it.
"It is a chance [for Solskjaer]. Basically what you want when you are young is a chance and after you have to make the maximum of that chance. He has already experience as a manager in Norway, so he has learned his job. He was an intelligent player, so he is an intelligent boy as well, and that will help him to be successful."
The Welsh club are one point clear of the Premier League relegation zone.
