Overview

  • Struber has signed a three-year contract to take charge of Bristol City’s men’s team at Ashton Gate.
  • The 48-year-old Austrian arrives fresh from roles at FC Köln, where he was dismissed late in the season, and an earlier stint steering Barnsley clear of relegation.
  • He succeeds Liam Manning, who left on June 3 to join Norwich City after leading Bristol City to last season’s play-offs.
  • The club expects Struber to help build on its sixth-place Championship finish, the highest in 17 years.
  • Struber will link up with the squad for pre-season training next week ahead of a series of West Country friendlies.
