Steve Bruce is in charge of Newcastle United at the moment.
Newcastle United winger Matt Ritchie has praised his manager Steve Bruce on In The Box.
The Scotland international, who can also operate as a wing-back and joined Newcastle back in the summer of 2016 when Rafael Benitez was in charge of the Magpies, has stated that he has nothing bad to say about Bruce.
Ritchie said about Bruce on In The Box, as transcribed by The Chronicle: “He’s a good guy. He’s like one of the boys really and you can imagine him when he was 25 or 30 being the same as what we are.
“He and his staff are nice fellas. They put on enjoyable sessions. He was brilliant with me when I was injured and I haven’t got a bad word to say about him.”
Good spell at Newcastle United
Bruce was appointed as the manager of Newcastle in the summer of 2019 following the departure of Benitez.
The former Hull City boss has done well at the Magpies, with the team unlikely to get relegated from the Premier League – if and when the season resumes – and still in the FA Cup.
Uncertainty over the future
However, there is speculation that Bruce may not be in charge of Newcastle next season.
According to The Sun, former Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino is the favourite to become the new manager of the Magpies once the takeover goes through.
Football in England is suspended at the moment due to the global health crisis, and it remains to be seen when the campaign gets back underway.
