Premier League: Reading confirm appointment of Nigel Adkins
Tuesday 26 March 2013 13:48, UK
Reading have appointed Nigel Adkins as their new manager, the Englishman signing a contract until summer 2016.
Former Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio had been linked to the post, as well as Roberto Di Matteo, while Brighton's Gus Poyet turned down the job last week. Reading is Adkins's third professional club, having started out as a physiotherapist with Scunthorpe. He became manager in 2006 after serving the Iron as their physio for 10 years and twice got them promoted from League One to the Championship.
