READING responded to a fourth successive loss by firing manager Brian McDermott on Monday in a late attempt to avoid relegation from the English Premier League.
A 1-2 collapse at home to relegation rival Aston Villa on Saturday left Reading four points from safety with nine matches remaining. Next from last in the standings, the Russian-owned team is only off the bottom because fellow London club Queens Park Rangers has scored fewer goals. "In our current situation, owner Anton Zingarevich felt that a (managerial) change was necessary," Reading said in a statement. The 51-year-old McDermott had been in charge since 2009 and took the team into the topflight for the start of this season for only the second time in its 142-year history.
