In a surprising move, Bristol City has appointed former England manager Roy Hodgson as their interim head coach. This decision follows the dismissal of Gerhard Struber, who faced mounting pressure after a disappointing series of results.

Background on Gerhard Struber
- Struber’s tenure included just one win in nine games.
- His performance saw Bristol City drop to 16th in the league standings.
