Roy Hodgson Returns To Bristol City As Interim Coach After Struber Exit

‎Former Liverpool and England manager Roy Hodgson has returned to Bristol City as interim head coach following the club’s decision to dismiss Gerhard Struber amid a six-match winless streak across all competitions.

‎The 76-year-old’s appointment marks a full-circle moment, as he first took charge of Bristol City back in 1982 his inaugural coaching role at an English club.

‎The 78-year-old, who was last ‌in charge of Crystal Palace, ⁠led ‌Inter Milan to the UEFA Cup final ​in 1996-97, and took Fulham to the Europa ​League final in 2009-10.

‎Bristol City remain 12 points clear of the Championship relegation zone with seven matches left, but the club has not tasted victory since last month.

‎Their poor run of form was compounded by an FA Cup exit at the hands of Port Vale, a League One side that handed them a disappointing defeat.

‎”Roy’s appointment is about more than the results of the next seven games. Over the remainder of the season, he will help ‌us set the standards and ​values at the club that ‌we will need to be successful going forward,” Bristol CEO Charlie Boss said in a statement.

‎Bristol City will look to reset their campaign when they return to action on April 3rd, facing Charlton Athletic in their next fixture.
