Former Liverpool and England manager Roy Hodgson joined Bristol City as interim coach on Friday after the Championship side sacked Gerhard Struber following a six-match winless run in all competitions.
Hodgson previously managed Bristol in 1982, his first coaching role at an English club.
The 78-year-old, who was last in charge of Crystal Palace, led Inter Milan to the UEFA Cup final in 1996/97 and took Fulham to the Europa League final in 2009/10.

Bristol are 12 points above the relegation zone with seven games remaining in the Championship but have not won since last month, with their FA Cup campaign ending in defeat to League One side Port Vale.
«Roy’s appointment is about more than the results of the next seven games. Over the remainder of the season he will help us establish the norms and values at the club that we need to be successful in the future,» Bristol CEO Charlie Boss said in a statement.
Bristol will play Charlton Athletic again on April 3.
