Hull City confirm that manager Steve Bruce has left the club by "mutual consent".

Hull City have confirmed that manager Steve Bruce has left the club by "mutual consent" just three weeks before the start of the new season.

News broke earlier today that the 55-year-old had stepped down from his role at the KC Stadium having failed to receive reassurances over his future.

Bruce recently went for talks with the Football Association over the possibility of becoming the next England manager, although that job has since gone to Sam Allardyce.

Bruce's decision to leave the club is understood to be unrelated to his England talks, though, and is instead down to the uncertainty that surrounds a potential takeover of the club.

"Following four incredible seasons with the Tigers including two promotions and our first ever FA Cup final, we can confirm that manager Steve Bruce has left the club by mutual consent," read a statement on Hull's official website.

"The board of directors would like to thank Steve for all his efforts since his appointment in 2012 culminating in a glorious day at Wembley in May which saw the club bounce back into the Premier League. Steve has excelled in his role - both on and off the field - and will be remembered for being the most successful manager in our history to date.

"Steve Bruce wishes the club and the owners all the very best for the forthcoming Premier League season. Steve also wishes to place on record his thanks to the club's supporters for their unwavering support and also to all the players and staff who have worked with him during his time at the KCOM Stadium."

Mike Phelan will take over as caretaker manager until a permanent appointment is made, with the likes of Ryan Giggs and Roy Keane among the early favourites.

Hull will kick off the new Premier League campaign at home to champions Leicester City on Saturday, August 13.
