Former Forest Green boss Rob Edwards is on the brink of becoming the next Bristol City manager, Stroud Times understands.
Edwards is in pole position to replace Liam Manning, who Norwich City today named as their new head coach on a four-year contract.
Edwards ,42, has been without a club since departing Luton Town in January.
His first job in management saw him guide Forest Green Rovers to League One as League Two champions in 2022 before he made the move to Watford, where he was sacked having suffered just two defeats in 10 league games.
Edwards took charge of Luton Town in November 2022 and led the Hatters into the top flight for the first time since 1992, but they came down after one season. He left Luton after a run of four consecutive defeats in the Championship. Luton were eventually relegated for a second successive season.
Stroud Times editor Ash Loveridge said: “Rob Edwards worked wonders at Forest Green and in my view he’s the perfect fit for Bristol City. Rob is brilliant with the media and his man management skills and personality are second to none.”
