Championship side 'trigger release clause' of newly promoted boss

There are a number of high-profile managerial roles currently available in the EFL

Bristol City look to have made their move as they hunt for a permanent new manager.

The Robins had Roy Hodgson step in on an interim basis after sacking Gerhard Struber in late March and since then have been on the look out for a boss to take on their Championship challenge next year.

It appears as though a newcomer to the second tier is their main target.

BBC Radio Lincolnshire have reported that Bristol City have triggered a release clause for Lincoln City boss Michael Skubala who this season took the Imps into the Championship.

However, it has also been reported that Lincoln are confident they will be able to keep hold of their highly-rated manager.

Skubala is very well thought of in football circles having worked with various youth sides in the FA before making a name for himself as manager of Leeds United under 21s and then as a first team coach.

The Imps finished 7th and 11th under his stewardship before finally winning League One this season after a hugely impressive campaign.
