- Bruce resigned but club say ‘issues to be resolved’
- Former Sunderland manager is a Newcastle fan
Steve Bruce has been confirmed as the manager of Newcastle United, though the club and his former employers, Sheffield Wednesday, are locked in a legal dispute regarding compensation.
After Bruce was announced by Newcastle on a three-year contract, Wednesday expressed disappointment at the move because of “outstanding legal issues” and stated that they were consulting lawyers. It is understood no agreement has been reached over a financial settlement for the 58-year-old, who resigned from the Championship club on Monday.
