Former Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has expressed interest in the vacant managerial position at Leicester City. Following Enzo Maresca’s departure to Chelsea, Leicester is seeking a new head coach for their return to the Premier League.
Despite not featuring prominently in bookmakers’ lists, Bruce sees the Leicester job as a golden opportunity, even amid concerns of a points deduction for PSR breaches. Speaking to talkSPORT, Bruce expressed his enthusiasm for the role, highlighting Leicester’s status as a prestigious club.
Bruce boasts a distinguished managerial career spanning 24 years, with stints at various clubs including Manchester United, Birmingham City, and Aston Villa. Despite his tenure ending at West Brom nearly two years ago, Bruce remains eager to return to football, whether in a managerial role or another capacity.
“I’m looking to do something,” Bruce affirmed. “Either management or working alongside somebody. Or I’d like to think if a chairman asked me a question on football, I’d like to give him an answer.”
Having spent a year without active involvement in football, Bruce is keen to step back into the fray. His versatility and experience make him a viable candidate for managerial positions or advisory roles within football clubs.
Leicester City’s managerial vacancy presents an enticing opportunity for Bruce to reignite his managerial career in the Premier League. As discussions unfold, Bruce remains hopeful of securing a role that aligns with his passion and expertise in football management.
