Steve Bruce was all smiles at a Premier League Asia Trophy event despite the ongoing dissatisfaction from Newcastle fans over his appointment as boss.
The Magpies manager was joined by Pep Guardiola, Nuno Espirito Santo and Manuel Pellegrini, whose Manchester City, Wolves and West Ham teams are also competing in the four-team tournament.
Newcastle lost their tournament semi-final to Wolves 4-0 before Bruce had even arrived in China, meaning they will face West Ham United in the third-place play-off.
That was after the Hammers suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to Premier League champions Manchester City.
