Soccer-Former West Brom manager Clarke takes over at Reading

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Former West Bromwich Albion boss Steve Clarke has signed a two and a half year contract after taking over as manager of Championship club Reading.

"I would like to wholeheartedly welcome Steve and wish him every success here," co-chairman John Madejski told the club website (www.readingfc.co.uk) on Tuesday. "He comes with a CV of the very highest order."

Former Scotland defender Clarke (Toronto: CKI.TO - news) , who also had spells as assistant manager at Chelsea and Liverpool, was sacked by Premier League West Brom 12 months ago.

The 51-year-old replaces Nigel Adkins after he was dismissed on Monday following Reading's 6-1 thumping at Birmingham City at the weekend, a defeat that left the Royals 16th in the 24-team Championship. (Reporting by Sam Holden, editing by Tony Jimenez)
