Lee Johnson has left his position as Barnsley's head coach to join Bristol City.
The 34-year-old led the Reds to Wembley on Thursday in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy but has now rejoined the Champpionship club for whom he played 199 games in six years, mainly under his father Gary's management.
A Barnsley club statement said: "We have been advised by Lee Johnson that he wishes to join Bristol City. Barnsley Football Club have accepted his decision and agreed proper compensation with Bristol City. We are very grateful to Lee for his hard work and commitment at Barnsley Football Club, which culminated in us reaching the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final. We wish him every success in his new role.
Johnson had been at Oakwell for less than a year after joining from Oldham Athletic. He led them into the relegation zone this season during an eight-game losing run but had won his last six league matches to take them within five points of the play-offs.
