Bristol City Sack Struber, Turn to Roy Hodgson as Interim Manager

The club signals a reset of standards and structure under an interim coach.

Overview

  • Bristol City said Friday that head coach Gerhard Struber and assistant Bernd Eibler left with immediate effect.
  • The club appointed 78-year-old Roy Hodgson through the end of the season, with his first match due April 3 away to Charlton Athletic.
  • Technical director Brian Tinnion was moved off first-team duties to focus on youth development.
  • Chief executive Charlie Boss said Hodgson’s brief is to restore standards as the club readies a new sporting director to lead the 2026/27 coaching hire.
  • The team sits 16th in England’s second tier with seven games left and a 12-point gap to the drop, as Hodgson returns to Bristol after leaving Crystal Palace in February 2024.
