AFP, LONDON: Hull manager Steve Bruce has confirmed he is in the race to be appointed England coach after being interviewed by the Football Association on Tuesday.
Bruce’s meeting with FA chiefs had earlier been described as “informal discussions”, but the 55-year-old revealed he had been in an official interview.
Hull say no firm approach for Bruce’s services has been made by the FA, but the former Manchester United defender is now in contention for the post, with Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce the other leading contender following his recent interview.
Bruce, who never represented England at senior level during a fine playing career, guided Hull to an immediate return to the Premier League with a play-off final win over Sheffield Wednesday in May.
He hopes to have done enough to convince the FA he is the man to succeed Roy Hodgson, who stepped down immediately after England’s embarrassing Euro 2016 last-16 defeat against Iceland.
“I never quite made it as a player, who wouldn’t (want it)?” he said on Sky Sports News ahead of Hull’s friendly at Mansfield on Tuesday.
“If you’re English and it means something to you, who wouldn’t?
