Bristol City were beaten 2-1 at home by QPR over the weekend. The Robins are now winless in their last four games in the league. They have slipped down to 10th place in the Championship heading into the international break.
Gerhard Struber was appointed as the head coach at Ashton Gate over the summer. The ex-Barnsley man cut ties with German club FC Koln earlier this year. He has also had spells in the past with Wolfsberger, New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg.
