Barnsley have announced Austrian Gerhard Struber as the club’s new head coach. The 42-year-old replaces Daniel Stendel, who left in early October after guiding Barnsley to promotion to the Sky Bet Championship last season. “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Gerhard Struber as Barnsley Football Club’s new first team head coach,” read a statement on the club’s official website. Barnsley chief executive officer Dane Murphy said: “Gerhard is a young coaching talent that any side would be pleased to have. Barnsley appointed Adam Murray as caretaker boss after Stendel’s departure, but they picked up only three points from five games during his tenure.
