Since the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) acquired Newcastle United, the club has made significant progress. Although they haven’t won any major trophies, the transformation under PIF is undeniable. Previously, when the club was owned by Mike Ashley and managed by Steve Bruce, it was in a dire state. Ashley showed no concern for the club’s well-being, leading to its decline. Bruce’s lack of tactical and technical expertise also contributed to poor performances on the field, disappointing the loyal Geordie supporters. However, when PIF took over and appointed Eddie Howe as the manager, the fans returned to St. James’ Park in droves. As Newcastle continued to shine, Bruce’s reputation suffered, especially after his unsuccessful stint at West Bromwich Albion. Despite joining them when they were sixth in the Championship, Bruce left the team in 22nd place after only eight months. This poor track record, combined with his time at Newcastle, has hindered his chances of securing another managerial job in England. Nevertheless, the Daily Mirror has reported that Bruce is being considered for the South Korea national team position, which recently became vacant due to Jurgen Klinsmann’s dismissal. Alternatively, he may also move to the Saudi Pro League. According to a source close to Bruce, he is aware of the interest from South Korea and finds the opportunity appealing. He is also being considered by several clubs in Saudi Arabia, and he is currently evaluating his options. Bruce is eager to return to management and sees overseas opportunities as a positive step in his career.
