Championship news : Shearer out of Cardiff running
Shearer, whose sole management experience has been a caretaker stint at Newcastle United during which the club was relegated from the Premier League, had been installed as the odds-on favourite for the job after a flurry of betting on Tuesday.
The former England captain said in a statement: "I can confirm that I was one of the candidates that the club spoke to about the vacant manager's position at Cardiff City. During these talks I was most impressed with the vision, ambition and determination of the owner Dato Chan Tien Ghee and the board.
"Unfortunately those talks were unsuccessful on this occasion. Cardiff City is a great club and I wish them every success next season."
Shearer's only previous managerial role was his ill-fated spell in charge of Newcastle at the tail-end of the 2008-09 season, where he won just one of his eight games in charge as the Magpies were relegated from the Premier League.
The Bluebirds have been without a manager since parting company with Dave Jones on May 30 in the wake of their Championship play-off semi-final defeat to Reading.
