Profile

Reading are Managed by Jose Manuel Gomes who replaced Paul Clement in December 2018.

Reading won the Championship in fine style back in 2006, finishing a whopping 16 points clear of second-placed Sheffield United and 25 points ahead of third-placed Watford. In their first season in the Premier League, the Royals surprised everyone with an impressive 8th place finish.

However, they were unable to repeat this feat and were relegated on goal difference in 2008. The club returned in 2012 but lasted just a year back in the big time, and have remained in the Championship since 2013.
