Rogers confirmed as new Royals’ boss.
By: Ben | June 5th, 2009I didn’t realise I hadn’t published the previous post, aghrjgusidai! Exams are killing me, I swear.
Anyway!
This morning Reading FC confirmed that ex-Watford manager Brendan Rogers would be in charge the Royals next season.
“I am absolutely overjoyed to be returning to Reading, a club that has always been close to my heart. This is a fantastic opportunity and I cannot wait to get started. This is a new cycle for Reading Football Club and I am delighted to be the man chosen to lead the Club to more success.”
Rogers was appointed at Watford in November 2008, when the Hornets were just one point above the relegation zone, and he led them all the way to 13th position, a respectable feat. His history with Reading is rife, playing short-term and working his way up through coaching the Academy before his switch to Chelsea.
Chairman Sir John Madejski said, “Brendan is the perfect fit for Reading Football Club. He was the outstanding candidate in a very strong field of applicants. He knows the Club extremely well, he has worked at the highest level and has every attribute we were looking for in a new manager.”

After the Darren Ferguson ‘attempt’, it’s apparent that Sir John Madejski is opting for the archetypal young managerial prospect, with long term planning considered. I also believe Frank Lampard Snr is joining as a coach, so the new era is really getting off the ground.

Yeah, Rogers has a great link with Reading, working up as a coach and living there too. Lampard Snr will bring a wealth of experience also. Rogers is apparently good friends with Mourinho after his Chelsea spell and regularly stays at his house in Italy, they’ve also been discussing transfers so I’m well excited for what young talent he’ll bring in to replace the oldies that’ve been let go.
