Steve Bruce is about to take over as manager of Sunderland after making an unexpected managerial comeback.

Steve Bruce is being considered for a top Championship role

Steve Bruce, a former manager of Sunderland and Newcastle United, has been connected to an unexpected

comeback to Championship management.

Former Tottenham player Craig Bellamy is now temporarily in charge of the dugout at Turf Moor following Bayern

Munich’s signing of Burnley manager Vincent Kompany. Bruce, though an unusual candidate given the links to

several other players, has emerged as a possibility to take over the Clarets permanently.

The Corbridge-born manager is reportedly in the running with Ruud van Nistelrooy, Thierry Henry, and Frank

Lampard, who has already met with club chairman Alan Pace in addition to Liam Rosenior and Scott Parker.

Bellamy has also received internal support to land a long-term position as first assistant manager.

It is unclear where the manager is in the queue.
