Former England boss Hodgson takes over at Championship club
Roy Hodgson is back in management after being named interim boss of Championship club Bristol City until the end of the season.
Hodgson, 78, has been out of work since resigning at Crystal Palace in February 2024 but will now replace Gerhard Struber, who was dismissed after just nine months in charge.
The decision to part with the Austrian and his assistant Bernd Eibler was made after a run of five league games without a win while City also exited the FA Cup with a disappointing defeat at League One strugglers Port Vale.
City CEO Charlie Boss said: “I would like to thank Gerhard and Bernd for their hard work over the past nine months and we wish them all the best.
“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 forwards.
“Roy is a vastly experienced coach who has achieved and won at the highest level. He will support me, our players and our football staff as we build towards achieving our potential.
“We are in the process of appointing a sporting director who will have a direct input into the recruitment of a new permanent head coach.”
