JUST IN: Newcastle Sack Manager, Steve Bruce

Reading Time: < 1 minutes

It has been revealed that the new owners of Newcastle United have sacked manager, Steve Bruce after their 3-2 loss to Tottenham on Sunday.

Bruce’s departure from the club was expected after the Saudi Arabian-backed consortium, led by the Public Investment Fund, completed a £305m takeover of the club on October 7.

The defeat left Newcastle in 19th position of the Premier League and without a win after their opening eight games of the 2021/22 campaign.

Former AFC Bournemouth coach, Graeme Jones will lead the team on an interim basis, starting with Saturday’s trip to Crystal Palace.

Newcastle said they have begun the process of recruiting a new head coach, with former Roma boss Paulo Fonseca has emerged as a contender, according to Sky Sports.
