Steve Bruce is expected to be named manager of Sheffield Wednesday today.

The vastly-experienced Bruce has been Wednesday's top target to succeed Jos Luhukay following the Dutchman's sacking last month after just under a year in charge at Hillsborough.

An agreement has now been reached with the former Aston Villa boss on a contract understood to be worth around £2m a year and he will take charge ahead of the weekend's FA Cup tie with Luton Town.

Wednesday will become the tenth managerial role for ex-Manchester United captain Bruce, who turned 58 on New Year's Eve.
