Championship’s Reading parts ways with Stam
Print Edition
Championship side Reading yesterday announced the departure of manager Jaap Stam, with the Chinese-owned club hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone.
The former Manchester United and Netherlands defender led the Royals to the playoff final in his first season in charge but they have struggled this season and are 20th in the table with 36 points, just three clear of the drop zone. Reading, with just one win in its past 18 league matches, has eight matches to save itself. “Majority shareholders, Mr Yongge Dai and Ms Xiu Li Dai, had wanted to give Jaap every opportunity to turn around what has been a difficult and challenging Championship campaign,” said a statement published on Reading’s official website. “Jaap has not wavered in the time, effort and sheer determination he has put in to try to steer the team away from the position we find ourselves in. However, after careful consideration, the decision has been made that a change is now necessary.”
