Wednesday are 16th in the Championship table, 10 points clear of the relegation zone. Former Manchester United defender Bruce took Aston Villa to the Championship play-off final last season but they lost to Fulham at Wembley and he was sacked in October. Luhukay was sacked by Sheffield Wednesday in December after less than a year in charge.
