00:00Bristol City's new head coach Gerhard Struber has made clear that he is very excited to get going at the Robins
00:06and is looking forward to the start of pre-season at the club.
00:11I'm very pleased here. I think I'm very excited for the job here with great fans, with a great team.
00:22I'm looking forward for this new task.
00:25A three-year deal here at Ashton Gate, but why Bristol City for you?
00:30I think it's an easy answer. It's a style of play that fits completely in my direction.
00:38I think especially to work with a younger group, to develop young players and bring on the same time the right results.
00:48So many things go in a way, what I like and what make my decision very, very, very quick clear.
00:58You spoke about it a bit there, but how much does the club's philosophy of young, athletic, robust players who can play at a higher intensity fit with your own philosophy?
01:05Yeah, I think this was the big reason why I'm here.
01:09And Bristol Rovers' new assistant head coach John Stead has outlined that hard work will be key throughout the season for Bristol Rovers as they look to achieve their aim of being promoted.
01:20It's a bit cliche, but it's going to be hard work.
01:22You know, this team is going to be built on players that will run through that wall for the manager and for the football club.
01:30There'll be an extremely, I don't want to say, well, it will be, it'll be disciplined.
01:36You know, it'll be a disciplined start to the pre-season.
01:39There's going to be standards set from day one and we expect the players to follow that.
01:42And on the flip side, us as a staff will follow that as well.
01:46And it'll be led by Daryl.
01:49He's extremely keen to put his stamp on the players that are already here, but then obviously bring in some new faces as well.
01:57And I'm sure there'll be other additions in terms of staff as well.
01:59So, you know, it's a real fresh start.
02:02And I think the way that this club, the mentality that we're going to have, the resilience that we're going to have,
02:06and that sort of togetherness is going to be, you know, evident from day one.
02:11And I think even in pre-season, we'll see that coming through.
