Bruce emphasized that his return to management has reignited his passion for football, stating, 'I wasn't ready to retire and I still have, I believe, something to offer.' This reflects his ongoing desire to contribute to the sport he loves.
Describing his previous stint without managerial duties, he noted, 'I realised I needed a break. I've never really had a proper break in 40-odd years.' This illustrates the weight of his long career and the need for rejuvenation.
He shared the joy of working with players again, saying, 'What I've missed is the everyday enjoyment of working with players and being involved in football. It's given me a purpose to get out of bed in the mornings.' This reinforces how management fulfills his personal and professional life.
Bruce also acknowledged the pressure and expectations that come with his new role, saying, 'It didn't quite happen for Mick and it didn't quite happen for me at West Brom. Let's hope this one works.' This shows his awareness of the challenges ahead in restoring confidence among fans.
