Debutants in the English Premier League, Hull City, received unpleasant news before the upcoming season - their head coach, Steve Bruce, stepped down from his position.
The strategist who led Hull City for the past four years helped the team move up from the Championship to the Premier League at the end of last season.
55-year-old S. Bruce was a candidate to replace Roy Hodgson in the English national team, but yesterday Sam Allardyce officially became the new coach of the national team.
Temporarily, former Manchester United assistant coach Mike Phelan will take over as the interim head coach of Hull City.
S. Bruce has worked at Sunderland, Wigan, Crystal Palace, and other English clubs.
