\"\"Steve Bruce has tendered his resignation as Sheffield Wednesday manager.<\/p>\n

The 58-year-old, who is expected to succeed Rafael Benitez as Newcastle boss, has given his notice in writing together with first-team coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence.<\/p>\n

Former Sunderland and Birmingham manager Bruce confirmed over the weekend he had been in talks with Newcastle, who are keen to make a swift appointment with the start of the new Premier League season just a month away.<\/p>\n

Wednesday and Newcastle have yet to reach an agreement over compensation for Bruce, who took charge at Hillsborough in January.<\/p>\n

Newcastle are understood to have put their offer in writing, but that has yet to be accepted by Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that Wednesday want \u00a34.5million in compensation for Bruce, plus an additional \u00a31.5m for Agnew and Clemence.<\/p>\n

Bruce took charge of Wednesday\u2019s 3-1 friendly win at Lincoln on Saturday and was confronted on the touchline by an angry Owls fan.<\/p>\n

The former Aston Villa boss told reporters he had spoken to Newcastle but the two clubs had yet to reach \u201csome sort of compromise\u201d.<\/p>\n
