Bristol City has made a significant change by appointing former England manager Roy Hodgson as the head coach for the remainder of the Championship season. The 78-year-old, who previously managed the club in 1982, steps in following the dismissal of Gerhard Struber. With the team currently sitting 16th in the league and without a win in six matches, Hodgson's experience is seen as crucial to turning the club's fortunes around. His first match in charge will be against Charlton Athletic on April 3. Hodgson expressed excitement about the opportunity, stating that he is ready to help the club until the end of the season. The club's CEO, Charlie Boss, emphasized that Hodgson's role extends beyond immediate results, focusing on setting standards and values for future success. The decision to appoint Hodgson comes after a disappointing run of form, including a recent FA Cup defeat to Port Vale, which raised concerns about team morale. The club aims to restore confidence and prepare for the upcoming season with a new permanent manager.
