Manager: Graham Alexander
Assistant Manager: Chris Lucketti
Goalkeeping Coach: Colin Doyle
Graham Alexander's professional playing career lasted 20+ years, taking the field for Scunthorpe United, Luton Town, Preston North End (twice) and Burnley.
The former Scotland international ventured into management immediately after hanging up his boots in 2012 and has since taken the reins at PNE (caretaker), Fleetwood Town, Scunthorpe United, Salford City, Motherwell, MK Dons and the Bantams.
Alexander led Bradford City to third place and an automatic promotion spot in League Two last season, and they've started on fire this term.
KNOW YOUR OPPONENT | SEASON SO FAR
The Bantams have thoroughly enjoyed life back in League One. They have tasted defeat just once in the league this term, with five wins and two draws from eight fixtures.

Bobby Pointon and Will Swan have begun the season as the in-form forward players for the Bantams. Pointon has netted five times from seven league games, while Swan has four goals in seven games.
