Roy Hodgson has "thoroughly enjoyed" his second stint in charge of Bristol City as Saturday's 2-0 win over Stoke City was his last in the Ashton Gate dugout.
Delano Burgzorg pounced on Viktor Johansson's miskick in the opening minute, with Sam Bell tapping in the hosts' second goal in the 88th minute.
Former England head coach Hodgson - who briefly served as the Robins' boss in 1982 - replaced Gerhard Struber in late March and led City to three wins, two draws and two losses in the final seven games of the season.
"I've seen us play better, funnily enough, in these games, but I haven't seen us show any more fight and determination and spirit than we showed today," said Hodgson to BBC Radio Bristol.
"That's also a very, very important quality, especially knowing that we also have more chances going forward to show our quality on the ball.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed it," he added. "It's been a great time. These players have been such a pleasure to work with.
"I shall miss them, of course, as we go into the summer break, but I shall certainly be following them and wishing them all the very best for the future.
"Yeah, I need it [a break] too. It's been an intensive five weeks for me and more intense than I've been used to over the last two years.
"I'll need to get my mind back now to a calmer and more tranquil way of life."
