Steve Bruce leaves 'by mutual consent'

Leaving by mutual consent

It has been confirmed that Hull City manager Steve Bruce is leaving the club by mutual consent.

The 55-year-old led the Tigers to promotion back to the Premier League in May, but since then, there's been uncertainty over the future ownership of the club, with takeover talks apparently halted, As a consequence he hasn't made a single significant signing in the transfer market, and what's more, his squad has been decimated by a series of pre-season injuries.

Now it's reported that there's been a breakdown of his relationship with the club's owners Assem and Ehab Allam. Supporters say they're sad to see him go. l

The Board of Directors would like to thank Steve for all his efforts since his appointment in 2012 culminating in a glorious day at Wembley in May which saw the Club bounce back into the Premier League. Steve has excelled in his role - both on and off the field - and will be remembered for being the most successful manager in our history to date.
