Lee Bullen will take charge of Sheffield Wednesday on the opening day at Reading

The Owls have been without a manager since Bruce walked out on July 15 in an attempt to force through a move to Newcastle United.

Bruce was joined by Stephen Clemence and Steve Agnew in swapping Hillsborough for St James' Park to create a vacuum at the top of the Championship club.

Bullen immediately stepped in and has been in charge since, leading the club on a pre-season trip to Germany.

He will now definitely be in the dugout at Madejski Stadium on Saturday as the Owls look to get the campaign off to a winning start.
