Manager Steve Bruce has left Newcastle United by mutual consent just 13 days after the Saudi Arabia-backed takeover of the Premier League club.
The 60-year-old leaves the club after more than two years in charge in which he led the team to a 13th and 12th placed finish in the league.
His position had come under scrutiny even before the club takeover, with fans frustrated by an uninspiring start to the new season.

Over the past 10 days, Vice President JD Vance put Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on notice, rattled the confidence of century-old allies in Western Europe during his first foreign trip, decamped to Capitol Hill to help in delicate budget talks and delivered a spirited defense of the Trump administration’s first month to a gathering of conservatives outside the nation’s capital.
