Hull City manager Steve Bruce admits that he contemplated quitting football management before signing a new deal with the club.

Hull City boss Steve Bruce has admitted that he contemplated quitting football management before signing a new deal to stay with the club.

The former Sunderland manager is in his 17th year of management and questioned whether he wanted to carry on in the profession anymore.

"There was a bit of me that thought 'Steve, you've had a wonderful three years here, do you keep the club up and then say thanks very much? But then I thought, 'I haven't finished yet'," the 54-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"I spoke to my wife and she asked if I needed a break. I've always said I wanted to go the Cricket World Cup, have a week at Cheltenham or go to the US Masters.

"But at the end of the day this is what I do. It becomes difficult but the day you stop enjoying it is the day when you say 'that's it', and I think I'll know that."

The Tigers are five points above the relegation zone in 15th, with Bruce believing that getting to the 30-point mark will be a massive 'psychological boost'.
