Gerhard Struber set to be named Bristol City manager | OneFootball

Bristol City are set to name Gerhard Struber as the team's new manager according to reports.

Journalist John Percy of Telegraph Sport is reporting that the Robins will hire the Austrian ahead of alternative candidate Rob Edwards.

City finished sixth in the Championship last season before losing in their play-off semi-final to Sheffield United with manager Liam Manning leaving to join Norwich City.

Struber's first job in English football was with Barnsley when he helped the Tykes avoid relegation in the 2019/20 season.

After leaving Barnsley, Struber took charge of New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg before joining 1. FC Köln for the 2024/25 season.

Despite helping Köln earn promotion to the Bundesliga, Struber was sacked with two games left to play with his team second in the league. Die Geißböcke eventually won the 2. Bundesliga after Friedhelm Funkel guided the team to two victories in their final two games.
