Robson: I will be Bradford manager

Bradford are expected to name former England captain Bryan Robson as their new manager, with former Derby boss Colin Todd as his assistant.

The Bantams, second from bottom in the First Division, have been in the hunt for a new boss following the departure of Nicky Law earlier this month.

Robson said: “I expect to be back in management this week with Bradford.

“After a week of talks, we have more or less reached agreement and I’m hoping to start work on Monday with Colin Todd as my assistant.

“Our aim will be quite simple – survival in the First Division. The club is in relegation trouble but there's a long way to go this season and I’m excited about the challenge.”
