MADRID, 20 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Newcastle United announced on Wednesday the dismissal of their coach Steve Bruce, who is leaving the English club after more than two years in office, and his provisional replacement by Graeme Jones as interim manager.

“This is an incredibly supportive club and I hope the new owners can take it to where we all want it to be. I wish everyone the best of luck for the rest of this season and beyond,” said Bruce in a statement. .

For its part, Newcastle, which two weeks ago was acquired by a conglomerate of owners from Saudi Arabia, explained that “the process of hiring a new manager is underway and an appointment will be announced in due course.”
