Steve Coppell is to be unveiled as Bristol City's new manager. The Championship club are staging a Thursday morning press conference at Ashton Gate to announce the appointment. As revealed in last Saturday's Post/Press, former Reading boss Coppell will succeed Gary Johnson as manager with current caretaker Keith Millen as number two. Details of Coppell's contract will also be revealed after he and City chairman Steve Lansdown concluded weeks of negotiations by finally agreeing a deal last night. Millen will remain in charge until the end of the season, while 54-year-old Coppell takes a watching brief for the remaining games at home to Derby County on Saturday and at Blackpool on Sunday week.

Bristol City have called a press conference for Thursday morning where they are expected to announce Steve Coppell as their new manager. Speculation has been rife all week that the Robins have lined up the former Reading manager to replace Gary Johnson, who left the club after five years in charge in March. An announcement was delayed earlier in the week and City chairman Steve Lansdown instead chose to confirm that caretaker manager Keith Millen, who himself has been in the running for the post, would stay in charge for the remaining two games of the season.

Steve Coppell is expected to end his 11-month absence from football by becoming the new manager of Bristol City. The club will, according to reports, present Coppell as Gary Johnson's permanent successor at a press conference in the morning. Coppell has been out of work since resigning as Reading manager in May following the club's failure to make the Championship play-off final. He had been linked with a return to the Madjeski Stadium following the departure of Brendan Rodgers as manager there earlier this season but has instead decided to join City, the seventh different club he has managed and currently 11th in the Championship.
