Should Aston Villa hand the managerial job to Steve Bruce?
Former Newcastle United and West Ham United midfielder Kevin Nolan suggested on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Friday morning (broadcast from 6am, October 7, 2016) that Aston Villa should appoint Steve Bruce as their new manager.
Villa, who got relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2015-16 season, are on the lookout for a new manager following the recent dismissal of Roberto Di Matteo.
Former Newcastle and West Ham midfielder Nolan believes that ex-Hull City boss Bruce is the man for the Villa managerial job.
“We would all like Aston Villa to be back in the Premier League,” said Nolan on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Friday morning (broadcast from 6am, October 7, 2016).
“Big club, great fans, great stadium, so I think he (Bruce) would be the one if you are going to give it to. If I were going to give it to someone, he would be the one.”
Bruce is without a managerial job at the moment, having left Premier League club Hull in the summer.
The former Manchester United defender guided Hull back to the English top flight from the Championship at the end of the 2015-16 campaign.
The 55-year-old is a very good and perhaps underrated manager, and he would be a brilliant appointment for Villa.
The problem is that Bruce will inherit a team that is not his own, which means that he may have to spend in the January transfer window.
