Murty linked to Madejski return after Clement axe
Graeme Murty has emerged as a surprise contender for the Reading job, following Paul Clement’s sacking.
Clement was relieved of his duties yesterday, barely nine months after taking on the role.
The Royals currently lie 21st in the English Championship, and are only above the relegation zone on goal difference.
Former Reading rightback Murty has been linked with a return to the Madejski Stadium, where he is still highly regarded by fans for his contribution to the record-breaking Championship title win in 2005/06.
Murty was touted for the job after Jaap Stam was sacked, and prior to Clement’s appointment.
The former Rangers caretaker boss is still at Ibrox, where he oversees the club’s youth programme.
