Newcastle parted ways with manager Steve Bruce on October 20th as its Saudi ownership began reshaping the team two weeks after buying the Premier League club.
The decision is the first big call by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund that took control of the northeast English club, which is in the relegation zone eight matches into the season.
Newcastle said Bruce left by “mutual consent” after being in charge since July 2019. Fans were chanting for his firing during Sunday's 3-2 loss to Tottenham.
“I am grateful to everyone connected with Newcastle United for the opportunity to manage this unique football club," Bruce said in a statement. “I would like to thank my coaching team, the players and the support staff in particular for all their hard work. There have been highs and lows, but they have given everything even in difficult moments and should be proud of their efforts.
“This is a club with incredible support, and I hope the new owners can take it forward to where we all want it to be. I wish everyone the very best of luck for the rest of this season and beyond.”
Tottenham Hotspur manager Nuno Espirito Santo insists it's "bad news" after hearing of Steve Bruce leaving Newcastle via mutual consent.
Nuno explained his relationship with Bruce and urged the former Newcastle boss to not completely retire from football, after media reports have suggested this is what Bruce may do.
