Board relieve Manager Steve Clarke of his duties
The board of Reading Football Club have this morning relieved Manager Steve Clarke of his duties.
The club met with Steve in person earlier today and we would like to place on permanent record our thanks to him for his hard work and diligence since his appointment in December 2014.
Following Thursday night’s defeat at home to QPR, added to a recent run of poor form which has seen the team pick up just one win in the last eight Sky Bet Championship fixtures, the board feel that a change in manager is now necessary.
During his time in charge of the Royals, Clarke presided over a total of 53 games, winning 19, drawing 14 and losing 20.
As part of this process, Assistant Manager Kevin Keen will also be leaving the club, and we would like to thank him for his efforts.
The board of Reading Football Club are committed to taking this club forward and will immediately begin the recruitment process in search of a new manager.
In the interim period, Under-21s Manager Martin Kuhl will take temporary charge of first team affairs and will lead training at Hogwood Park this morning.
The club will make a further announcement to our supporters in due course.
