Former England manager Roy Hodgson has made it known that he has no intention of becoming the permanent Bristol City manager after his stunning return to football management.

Hodgson, 78, was appointed manager of the Championship team until the end of the season last week, taking over from Gerhard Struber, who was sacked after overseeing a disappointing run of results this season.

City are 16th in the Championship and without a win in five games. They fell to a disappointing 1-0 home defeat against relegation-threatened West Brom last Saturday, and the team was booed three times during the game.
