Newcastle United's new owners sack Steve Bruce and pay him £8 million

Newcastle announced the departure of manager Steve Bruce on Wednesday morning. Bruce was widely expected to be fired by the new owners last week following the takeover.

The Saudi-led consortium, on the other hand, opted to let him finish his 1,000th career game as a manager. 

On Sunday, Newcastle was defeated 3-2 by Tottenham Hotspur, further putting them in danger of relegation. 

As he leaves his boyhood club, Bruce is poised to receive £8 million in compensation. 

"#NUFC can confirm that Steve Bruce has resigned his role as head coach by mutual consent," the club said in a statement shared on social media on Wednesday morning.

The club would like to express its appreciation for Steve's efforts and wishes him well in the future.
