Bristol City appoint Gerhard Struber head coach

Bristol City has appointed Austrian Gerhard Struber as their new head coach on a three-year contract, following Liam Manning's departure to Norwich City. Struber, who previously managed Barnsley, New York Red Bulls, Red Bull Salzburg, and Cologne, arrives with a reputation for developing young players and escaping relegation battles, though some question his recent track record due to mixed results at his prior clubs. The club aims to build on last season's highest league finish in 17 years and push for Premier League promotion, with expectations of tactical changes including a potential 4-2-3-1 formation and targeted player signings. Struber expressed enthusiasm for the role, highlighting the club's style and youth development prospects. Despite some skepticism about his recent management stints, Bristol City is optimistic about his ability to lead the team forward.
