BRISTOL City have sacked their first-team coach John Pemberton after the club won just once in the Championship since December 3.

City are hovering around the bottom three and facing relegation after their draw with Burton last weekend and another 1-1 draw at home to Norwich on Tuesday night.

A statement on the club’s website on Tuesday said that Pemberton had been relieved of his duties at Ashton Gate. Head of Scouting Des Taylor has also left the club.
