Hull City expected to unveil Steve Bruce today

Hull City are reportedly expected to unveil Steve Bruce as the club's new manager today in a press conference.

The former Birmingham City and Wigan Athletic boss, who has been out of work since getting sacked from Premier League outfit Sunderland in November last year, has been linked with the job at the KC Stadium in the last few days.

It is understood that the 51-year-old will be confirmed as the Tigers' new coach at a 3pm press conference today, according to Sky Sports News.

Hull have been in the hunt for a new boss after dismissing Nick Barmby from the managerial position last month following a dispute with the club's hierarchy.
