Former West Brom boss Roy Hodgson makes shock return to management | OneFootball

Roy Hodgson, 78, has returned to the dugout as Bristol City’s caretaker manager after the dismissal of head coach Gerhard Struber.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Struber departed following a run of one win in nine matches in all competitions.

The move brings Hodgson back to a club he led in 1982. He has been out of work since leaving Crystal Palace in 2024.

City chief executive Charlie Boss thanked Gerhard and Bernd for their work over the past nine months. He said the appointment is about more than the next seven games and that, over the remainder of the season, Hodgson will help set standards and values.

Boss added that the vastly experienced coach will support him, the players and football staff as the club builds towards achieving its potential.

He also said the club are appointing a sporting director who will have direct input into recruiting a new permanent head coach.
