Reading hires former Saints boss Adkins

NIGEL Adkins has been hired as manager of relegation-threatened Reading, less than two months after being fired by Southampton.

The 48-year-old Adkins is replacing Brian McDermott, who was dismissed two weeks ago. Adkins takes over a side that is 19th in the 20-team English Premier League with eight games left, seven points from safety. Reading travels to Arsenal on Saturday before a home game on April 6 against Southampton, which is eight points above Adkins' new team. He has a contract until the end of the 2015-16 season.
