Overview

  • He signed a three-year contract on June 19, 2025, and will begin pre-season training with the squad next week.
  • Chairman Jon Lansdown said Struber’s approach perfectly aligns with the club’s emphasis on young players and an intense pressing game.
  • Struber was dismissed by 1. FC Köln roughly six weeks ago despite the team sitting second in Germany’s second tier at the time.
  • His 2019–20 stint with FC Barnsley gives him firsthand experience of the Championship’s physical and tactical demands.
  • Bristol City finished sixth last season and lost to Sheffield United in the play-off semi-finals, boosting optimism for promotion under Struber.
