Faye blasts Hull boss Bruce for favouring son Alex

Abdoulaye Faye has taken aim at Hull City boss Steve Bruce.

Faye claims Bruce deliberately relegated him to the subs' bench - in order to field son Alex Bruce.

"I say it loudly, coach Steve Bruce dismissed me in favour of his son Alex Bruce.

"This was a choice that was not explained and was not justified.

"I always played the holder role wherever I went in England," Faye told Footafrique.

He claimed: "This situation was so bad that even his team-mates protested whenever they saw him on the bench," nevertheless, he accepted it and each time complied with "the decision of the coach who is the boss."

Faye added: "My contract has expired and I am a free agent now. But the fact remains, I am currently negotiating with a good English club D2 … because even at 35, I wish to play even up to two years in the English Premier League before hanging my boots."
