Hull City confirm Steve Bruce talks over England manager's job

Hull City confirm that manager Steve Bruce has held talks with the FA over the vacant England post.

Hull City have confirmed that manager Steve Bruce has held talks with the Football Association over the vacant England post.

Reports emerged earlier today claiming that the 55-year-old had been interviewed by the FA over the possibility of succeeding Roy Hodgson as manager of the national team.

However, Hull have insisted that the discussions were "informal" and revealed that there had been no official approach for Bruce.

"The club can confirm that manager Steve Bruce has held informal discussions regarding the England vacancy, although no official approach has been received from the FA," read a statement on the club's official website.

"We would hope to see the FA conclude their business quickly in order to avoid further speculation regarding Steve ahead of what is a season of huge importance for the club following our return to the Premier League."

The FA is reportedly planning to name its new manager this week, with Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce still the favourite to land the role.
