Welcome to the Foxpunter Manager Profiling podcast, hosted by sports writer and broadcaster Jack Critchley and Foxpunter's Mike Holden.

Every week we'll focus on a selection of football managers, their leadership styles, how they celebrate, commiserate and how they deal with difficult situations.

This week, we put the spotlight on veteran Cardiff boss Mick McCarthy and looked at his authenticity, honesty and regular foul-mouthed post-match interviews. 

We also looked at Nigel Adkins and how he is constantly learning and looking to tap into and understand the emotions of his players.
