The former Aston Villa manager is reportedly close to succeeding Jos Luhukay at Sheffield Wednesday.
Steve Bruce has agreed to become the new manager of Sheffield Wednesday, according to Michael Vaughan.
It had been widely reported that Wednesday were close to a deal to appoint the former Aston Villa boss as Jos Luhukay’s successor.
But Vaughan, the Owls-supporting former England cricket captain, posted the following tweet earlier on Monday:
Vaughan also tweeted about Luhukay’s sacking – for which he cited the same source – hours before official confirmation emerged from Sheffield Wednesday on Friday.
Two of Bruce’s former Aston Villa coaches, Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence, were present as the Owls beat Preston North End at Hillsborough on Saturday.
It has been suggested that the pair could start work before Bruce, who is said to want to spend a rare Christmas with his family, having lost both of his parents in 2018.
The 57-year-old’s son, Alex, was part of the Wednesday side that gained promotion via the League One play-offs 13-and-a-half-years ago.
