Aston Villa legend Nigel Spink says Steve Bruce is the right man for the manager's job.
Former Hull City boss Bruce is edging closer to becoming Villa's next manager and reports over the weekend claimed the 55-year-old was ready to make European Cup-winning keeper Spink his goalkeeping coach.
Spink told the Express & Star: “Steve would be ideal, his record speaks for itself.
“He got Blues up, took Wigan into the top half of the Premier League and kept Sunderland up.
“The owner has talked a lot about his ambitions and getting into the Champions League. We need to worry about competing in the Championship first. Steve is the man to do that."
