Liam Manning is close to being confirmed as the new Bristol City head coach, Sky Sports News has been told.
Manning's Oxford United are second in League One, but the chance of jumping a division with Bristol City has been too tempting for him to stay put. Negotiations over a compensation package between the two clubs have been ongoing over the weekend, with broad agreement now on a fee. Manning is expected to make the switch to the Championship in the next 48 hours.
City's five-point gap to the play-offs at the time of his departure, especially in the Championship, is immaterial with barely a third of the season gone. A growing injury list stopped them naming a full bench in his final game, their best player has not been replaced following his summer departure, yet they were a point off the top six barely a week before Pearson's sacking.
