Nigel Pearson says it has been "a pleasure" working with Richard Gould over the last 18 months as the CEO has now departed Bristol City to take up the post of chief executive of the ECB.
Gould returned to City in the summer of 2021, having previously served as commercial officer, and has presided over a period of significant change in the wake of the pandemic and the financial impact on the club.
The 53-year-old formed a close working bond with Pearson, which has been crucial in ensuring the necessary decisions have been made over recruitment, contract negotiations and the overall culture at the club, most notably at the Robins High Performance Centre.
