Cardiff City chairman Mehmet Dalman insists that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League.

Cardiff City chairman Mehmet Dalman has insisted that the team's new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is capable of succeeding in the Premier League.

The club executive said that he has "no doubts" that the former Manchester United striker will excel as a coach in the English top flight.

"He has played and won at the highest level as a player and has been successful in Norway," Sky Sports News quotes Dalman as saying.

"He is coming here to prove something to himself and to Cardiff. I had no doubts from day one, so I do feel like the cat that got the cream."

Solskjaer's predecessor Malky Mackay was dismissed following a high-profile falling-out with Cardiff owner Vincent Tan, but Dalman is adamant that the new boss will not experience such issues.

"We changed the structure. Until I arrived the board had never met. That was number one," he added.

"The manager will say what he wants - A, B and C. I will go to the board and say, 'Do we have that money?' It gets authorised. It gets signed off. The manager goes and does his thing. Everybody is on the same page.

"Before that did not exist. We have got transparency between the football side and the business side."

Solskjaer's first match in charge is this weekend's FA Cup clash against Newcastle United.
