Overview
- Gerhard Struber says he landed the Bristol City job by chance after leaving 1. FC Köln, describing England as a "football planet" where he wanted to work.
- He initially intended to take a break and turned down other opportunities before City approached with a style he felt suited his playing idea.
- Bristol City are eighth in the Championship, sitting two points off the play-off places for promotion to the Premier League.
- Struber rates his start as very good, saying performances are at a high level and supporters appreciate the team’s approach.
- He reflects that his late-season dismissal at Köln took time to process, notes that Friedhelm Funkel led the club back up, and says he holds no anger despite wishing the separation had been handled differently.
