Hull City manager Steve Bruce has revealed that his main target is to take the Tigers back into the top flight of English football.

The 51-year-old, who was sacked from Sunderland in February, took over at the KC Stadium earlier this summer and the former Manchester United player has admitted that he is enjoying being back in a managerial role.

"Some of my most enjoyable times in management were taking teams out of the Championship, or at least trying to," Bruce told The Telegraph.

"I've really enjoyed the last few weeks, being out on the training pitch, trying to improve the younger players, the team.

"It's what I do, football is all I've known and I've still got that motivation to get back into the Premier League. If I'm going to do that again, I'm going to have to take Hull with me."

Bruce has recorded one loss, one draw and two victories in the Championship with Hull so far this season.
