"Bristol City was nothing short of a disaster. We had only been there for a matter of weeks before the banks started to pull the rug from underneath the club."
"My job when I eventually took over, as caretaker manager, was quite simply to carry on in the aftermath of all the players leaving the club and just fulfilling the fixtures."
Roy Hodgson, at 78, is returning to manage Bristol City after a 44-year absence. He has had a long managerial career with 21 roles, including at Inter Milan and Liverpool. His last position was at Crystal Palace, which ended in February 2024. Hodgson's first stint at Bristol City in 1982 was challenging due to financial issues, and he served as caretaker manager during a difficult period for the club. He aims to guide Bristol City through their final seven games of the 2025-26 season.
