"Tried retirement, wasn't for me" | Steve Bruce explains decision to take his 13th managerial role

Hope he does well but his last achievement was hulls promotion around 10 years ago hasnt improved a team since then

Steve Bruce did as well as Rafa Benitez.

Not sure how you've reached that conclusion. Rafa got Newcastle promoted as champions and then got a top half finish in the first season back in the PL with no transfer budget. Bruce was actually given money but made every player worse, and would have got Newcastle relegated if Howe didn't come and rescue them.
