"?Hull City manager Steve Bruce will take the next ten days to decide on his future according to "?Sky Sports News sources.
Bruce, 55, managed Hull to a play-off final win last Saturday after Mohamed Diame's fine strike saw them beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Wembley. And Bruce admitted afterwards that he would find it difficult to leave the club, but due to a potential takeover, his future is up in doubt.
Speaking to "?Sky Sports News on Saturday Bruce said "I think I need to ask the question because it's out there and people keep asking me, so I've got to ask the question.
"A change of ownership always brings a new broom, sweeps clean. So, I'll have to ask the question and see if it's real, if it's going to happen and that's all I know at the moment."
There is plenty of interest in a deal to take over Hull City from several countries including America, China and Thailand, the clubs vice chairman Ehab Allam confirmed.
Assem Allam, a 76 year-old millionaire, who bought Hull back in 2010 put the club up for sale in 2014 after the Football Association rejected his application to change the clubs name to Hull Tigers. The owner has missed most of this season, including Saturdays play-off final due to ill health.
Bruce went on to say: "The chairman is having a tough time with his health at the moment. That's more important than any game of football, so when we are ready, we'll take our time, like we normally do, and try and find a conclusion.
"It's very, very difficult to leave because we are in the Premier League. Everybody wants to be in the Premier League.
"Of course, you want to pit your wits against all these great coaches and managers. Jose's back, Guardiola is round the corner and, of course, little tiny Hull have to take them on."
