The ex-Wigan Athletic, Sunderland, Hull City and Aston Villa boss is on the verge of becoming the new manager of Premier League side Newcastle United.
Bruce is expected to be brought to St James' Park as the replacement for Rafa Benitez - who left the club this summer after failing to agree on a new contract - and speculation Bruce has resigned from his post at Sheffield Wednesday has emerged on Monday.
According to the BBC, Bruce has now told Sheffield Wednesday that he will leave Hillsborough just five months after his first match in charge.
