Veteran boss Steve Bruce tells the BBC's Football Focus he is relishing his return to the game with Blackpool.
The 63-year-old had been out of work for almost two years before taking over at the League One club in September.
"I think you know when the time is right and for me it was 'let's go and do a couple more years and see where we are'." He started his career in the dugout with Sheffield United 26 years ago, has won promotion to the top flight four times and passed 1,000 games in management in 2021. At 63, Bruce is the oldest manager to have led a club in the top four tiers this season by two years.
