Tigers confirm Bruce

Steve Bruce: Back in football at Hull City and looking to win promotion
Hull City have confirmed Steve Bruce as their new manager on a three-year deal.
The former Sunderland boss was unveiled at a press conference on Friday and said the aim was to get the Tigers back into the Premier League.
Hull have been without a manager since severing ties with Nick Barmby in May, with club chairman Assem Allam backing the verdict of vice-chairman and son Ehab Allam to dispose of his services.
Bruce, who has been out of football since November 2011, told Sky Sports News: "The club has progressed enormously over the last 10-12 years and, after speaking with the chairman and his son Ehab, the one thing they've wanted is to bring back the Premier League days if we possibly can and that's going to be the aim.
"That's the reason why I'm sitting here, for the challenge of it. I've been out of work for a while but I wanted to come back with something with a challenge.
"And after a few weeks of negotiation and talks then I'm delighted to be here and relish the challenge of trying to get the club back where we all want it to be."
He added: "I've signed a three-year deal and I hope I can get them (up) in that time, I hope we can.
"We've got some very, very good young players here and I've been very, very impressed with the calibre of the young players we've got.
