Former Bristol City manager Dean Holden has spoken about how Covid prevented him from implementing his coaching strategies at the club, the impact of injuries and his belief he had the Robins on the right track.
Following four years as assistant to Lee Johnson at Ashton Gate, Holden was handed the role of caretaker head coach in July 2020 following the former's sacking. He immediately turned around City's form by ending a nine-game run without a victory and lost just once in their final five matches of the season.
Holden was then offered the role on a 12-month rolling contract where they started the following campaign on fire, winning their opening four consecutive matches. His tenure lasted until February when Steve Lansdown decided to seek a replacement following a run of six successive defeats.
