Simon Jordan expects former Newcastle boss Steve Bruce to retire following West Brom sacking

Simon Jordan expects West Bromwich Albion to be the final club in Steve Bruce’s 43-year professional career. Almost one year on from his Newcastle United sacking, the 61-year-old was axed by the Baggies on Monday morning after a string of poor results.

A goalless 0-0 draw on home soil to Luton Town leaves West Brom third-bottom of the Championship, with just one win in their opening 12 fixtures. Bruce leaves the Hawthorns with a 25% win percentage, claiming victory in just eight of his 32 games in charge.

Bookmakers make former Sunderland boss Roy Keane the early favourite for the vacancy. Despite not managing a club outright since 2011, the Sky Sports pundit has previously flirted with a return to the dugout.
