The Royals released a statement on Tuesday morning, the day after a late 2-1 defeat to Preston North End, saying Ince’s contract had been terminated with immediate effect. Assistant manager Alex Rae has also left the club. It’s less a surprise that Ince has been sacked, more that it’s taken this long. Reading have won just two games in 2023 - home matches against relegation-faced Blackpool and Rotherham United.
