Hull winger Elmohamady pays glowing tribute to Bruce

Hull City winger Ahmed Elmohamady loves playing for manager Steve Bruce.

Elmohamady is in no doubt why he and the Tigers have enjoyed so much success together.

"Steve Bruce is a great coach and I consider him to be my spiritual father," he told the Hull Daily Mail.

"He brought me from ENPPI Sporting Club in Egypt to Sunderland and then I joined him at Hull. He means a lot to me and I credit him for what I have achieved. He believed in me and that gave me confidence.

"My love for him doesn't mean that I would follow him to any club.

"I am a professional player and I have my own ambitions. But it is an honour to work with a coach with the stature and capabilities of Steve Bruce."
