Bruce, 62, was at Newcastle before joining the Baggies but was sacked in 2021 following the takeover by the Public Investment Fund.

He has now admitted that he is keen on returning to work but has remained coy about working in Saudi Arabia.

He told Gambling Zone: “I’ve had many people ask me if I’d go to Saudi Arabia and the simple answer is, I’m not going to reveal anything.

“I’ve turned down a number of clubs recently as I didn’t think they were quite right.

“I’d be open to a job abroad if it comes up. I’m very open-minded.

“I think revealing the clubs who were interested in me would be very disrespectful, so I won’t.”

Bruce has also suggested that he would like to avoid speculating about management jobs while there is a person in place.

He added: “I’ve stated before that I’d like to get back into management but I find speculation when there’s a manager in place to be very disrespectful.”

Bruce has also admitted that he is open to working that may not necessarily see him return to the dugout and could work behind the scenes.

He said: “I’m looking to get back into football, whether that’s an international job, a director of football, an assistant to an up-and-coming manager, or a consultation role.

“I’m open to anything as I miss the game.

“International management would appeal to me at my age, but I find speculation disrespectful while a manager is in place.

“Once the manager position is free, then they can give me a call.”

Bruce has plenty of experience as a football manager having coached the likes of Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, Wigan, Aston Villa, Sunderland and Birmingham City.
