All speculations have ended - Steve Bruce has finally been relieved of his duties as head coach of "Newcastle United," the club itself announced. On Sunday, the English strategist had his 1000th match in charge. However, in that game at home against "Newcastle," S. Bruce's team lost 2-3 to "Tottenham." After the Saudi Arabian consortium took over the management of "Newcastle," there were many rumors that S. Bruce would be eventually fired. At the moment, it is still unclear who will take the helm of the "Magpies" for a longer period. The names mentioned in the rumors include Eddie Howe, Roberto Martinez, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Unai Emery, Paulo Fonseca, and others. In the short term, Graeme Jones will be the interim head coach of the "Magpies," who has been S. Bruce's main assistant until now. Currently, "Newcastle" is in the bottom three of the Premier League with 3 points.
#NUFC can confirm that Steve Bruce has left his position as head coach by mutual consent. The club would like to place on record its gratitude to Steve for his contribution and wishes him well for the future. - Newcastle United FC (@NUFC) October 20, 2021
