Manchester United legend Steve Bruce could soon be back in the game as a head coach.

The former Newcastle United boss is being tipped for a shock return to football management.

Bruce has not worked since he lost his job at West Brom in the Championship a year ago.

Per The Sun, he is now emerging as the bookies' favorite for the Republic of Ireland job.

Stephen Kenny is in charge at present, but may lose his job if the team's Euro 2024 qualifying campaign gets worse.

Ireland have lost four games out of the five they have played so far, with losses to Greece, Holland, and twice to France.
