Bruce succeeds Rafa Benitez at St James’ Park having signed a three-year deal with the Tyneside club following his departure from Sheffield Wednesday.
The 58-year-old, who grew up in Wallsend, said: “I’m delighted and incredibly proud to be appointed as head coach of Newcastle United. This is my boyhood club and it was my dad’s club, so this is a very special moment for me and my family.
“There is a huge challenge ahead of us, but it’s one that my staff and I are ready for. We’ll roll our sleeves up and we’ll be giving it everything from the off to ensure supporters have a successful team that they can be proud of.”
Coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence have followed Bruce from Sheffield Wednesday to St James’ Park.
