Gerhard Struber replaces Liam Manning as Bristol City manager
Former FC Coln manager Gerhard Struber has been named as the latest man to take on Bristol City's Premier League ambitions.
The 48-year-old Austrian has signed a deal that takes him to the end of the 2027/28 campaign and replaces Liam Manning, who recently departed to become manager of Norwich City.
Bristol City chairman Jon Lansdown told the club's website: 'We are delighted to have Gerhard joining us. He has managed in a variety different countries, including in the Championship, and brings a wealth of experience and energy.
'For the last four years, we have moved our academy teams towards a high intensity, pressing style of play, and combined this with recruiting younger players with those same capabilities for the first team.
'Gerhard's style is perfectly suited to this way of playing and his passion for developing younger players is also a great fit for our club.
'It's a really exciting appointment and I'm looking forward to us building on the progress the club has made.'
Also speaking to the club website, Struber said: 'I am very excited for the job here with great fans and a great team. I'm looking forward to a new task.
'The style of play here fits completely, especially developing young players.
'This is a very interesting group, and I think they did a great job last season and were very successful. Right now is the time to build and do everything we can to take us to the next level.'
The Robins made the Championship play-offs last season but came out on the wrong end of their semi-final clash with Sheffield United, losing 3-0 in both legs. They've not played top flight football since 1980.
A former midfield player for SV Austria Salzburg and Austrian Under 21 international, Struber has previous experience managing in the EFL with Barnsley. He's also been at the helm at both New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg. His most recent appointment with FC Koln was terminated by the German club last month.

Yorkshire v Essex, Surrey v Durham and more: county cricket day two
Update: Date: 2025-06-30T08:51:26.000Z Title: Sunday's round-up Content: County Cricket Day 2025 was distinguished by soft Kookaburra balls and soaring temperatures. At York, the groundsman had left enough grass on the pitch to give it a minty sheen, but a combination of ball, disciplined Yorkshire bowling and heat-induced inertia tested the patience of even the most loyal fan. The ground became more and more lopsided as spectators slid towards the shade of the oak tree behind the scorebox while Essex's Tom Westley (107) and Dean Elgar (94) plodded on. And on. Westley's hundred was his second in successive matches. It was a good day for Ben Compton at Canterbury: a county cap, a three-year contract extension and 66 runs, as Kent batted their way to a comfortable 325-4 against Northamptonshire, with additional half centuries for Daniel Bell-Drummond and Tawanda Muyeye. Tom Banton, whose season hit a spectacular high in the first round with 371, but who has since found runs hard to mine, ground an unbeaten 57 against Nottinghamshire. There were also fifties for Tom Abell and James Rew after Somerset had wobbled at 22 for two. Centuries from Dom Sibley and Sam Curran put Surrey in the driving seat at the Oval. A swashbuckling Dan Lawrence half-century after tea put the tin lid on Durham's decision to have a bowl. Sam Robson clocked his first hundred of the season for Middlesex at a flat, dry Grace Road. Leicestershire were shorn of their first-choice attack due to injuries and Ian Holland's presence at Major League Cricket, but Roman Walker pocketed three wickets. Lancashire recovered from the depths of 44 for four at Derbyshire thanks to a self-denying 106 from Keaton Jennings and a chirpier 121 from Chris Green. Zak Chappell grabbed four wickets. Henry Crocombe, replacing Jofra Archer, spirited away by England after one game, kept Sussex in the match against Warwickshire with three wickets. Mason Crane also grabbed three for Glamorgan against Gloucestershire. And at Southampton, Barry Richards was one of the spectators as Worcestershire's Adam Hose frying-panned the Hampshire attack during his 266 at more than a run a ball. Thirty one fours and seven sixes peppered the lounging crowds and switched the narrative of a broiling day.

There have been indications, though, that they may be willing accept a deal worth between £40m and £ issue, however, would be whether Liverpool see it that preferred profile for a centre-back in recent years has been younger than the Palace centre-back so they will be looking for what they judge as value to change their Liverpool set to sell centre-back Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth up to £35m, there is logic to the thought the Merseysiders could aim to break even in any formal bid for they'd be willing to pay a little extra over the money they recoup for Quansah - but not by a delicate Palace value Guehi at a price the Premier League champions deem fair, and Liverpool enter the discussions at a figure the Londoners don't perceive as 'low-balling', then that could open the door towards a successful and amicable that in mind, the first point of formal contact between clubs will likely be crucial towards whether Guehi ends up at Anfield.
