Daily Express
|October 06, 2025
STEVE BRUCE saw his BLACKPOOL side lose 2-0 at home to AFC WIMBLEDON - and then a few hours later the club announced his departure.
The Seasiders sit 23rd in the table with eight points from 11 games.
Bruce (above) was subjected to boos and chants from disgruntled home fans after Danilo Orsi scored twice for the visitors at Bloomfield Road.
The 64-year-old branded his team’s performance “not acceptable” and “nowhere near what's required” as he took responsibility for the result.
Assistant head coach Steve Agnew and first-team coach Stephen Clemence have also left.
