A former Leeds United coach has emerged as the favourite to become Bristol City’s next manager.
When the Robins parted with Gerhard Stuber in March, they opted against looking immediately to the long-term. The rest of their Championship campaign was overseen by former England chief Roy Hodgson, who was installed as interim boss.
Hodgson has vacated his post following the end of the season and Bristol City must now find someone capable of pushing them forward next term.
After his final game at the Ashton Gate helm, Hodgson told BBC Radio Bristol: "It would be wonderful if next year, the team flies out, they play very well, they win games and they're top of the table. Great, but that might not quite happen.
"It might need to be a more subdued approach in the sense that what Bristol City need to do is to establish themselves very much as a top-six, top-eight team. If they can do that within a couple of years, then I think they could easily make the jump.
"I'm really pleased with everything that's happened here, and it won't be easy for me now to wean myself off it again because being out on the grass and being with a group of players who were so receptive, so good to work with, so keen to do well. You leave that behind, and I'm certain there'll be mornings when I wake up in the future, thinking it would be nice to be out there with them again."
Here are the BetVictor favourites to succeed Hodgson as Bristol City boss - with some familiar faces featured.
