Lee Johnson was the third longest-serving manager in the English Football LeagueLee Johnson has been sacked as head coach of Bristol City. The Robins are 12th after Saturday's loss to sixth-placed Cardiff City, who are now nine points above them. Chief executive Mark Ashton said, while there had been some "special moments" under Johnson, "change" was needed. Assistant head coach Dean Holden will take over in a caretaker capacity while the club searches for Johnson's successor. His latest winless run now leaves the club searching for only their third manager since 2013.
