He has left the club with immediate effect after being relieved of his role
Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson has left the club with immediate effect after being relieved of his role.
This comes as The Robins sit in 15th in the Championship with just two wins in their last seven league games.
Pearson, who has been at the club since the start of 2021, will be joined by First Team Coach Jason Euell and Head of Medical Performance Dave Rennie have also left the club.
In a statement City Chairman Jon Lansdown said: “This was a difficult decision to make as we recognise and appreciate how much Nigel has done for the club over the past two-and-a-half years on and off the pitch.
“Nigel is highly respected by the staff and players and has been very supportive of the Academy structure and our Women’s team.
“We all wanted Nigel to achieve our ambition to be promoted but, with our recent results, feel that now is the time to make a change to give the club the best possible chance of success.”
Assistant Manager Curtis Fleming will take on the role of interim head coach, supported by Ali Hines and Kalifa Cissé as the club seek a new Head Coach.
