Ruben Selles Drops Bombshell Update on His Reading FC Future
A status update on Rubén Sellés’s Reading future has been released ahead of the summer transfer window. Following the club’s elimination from the Championship, the 40-year-old assumed leadership of the Royals’ first team roster the previous season.
He managed a challenging debut League One campaign, with his side overshadowed by behind-the-scenes problems. The Berkshire team’s EFL rule violations from the previous season resulted in six point deductions.
Nevertheless, Sellés led the squad to a 17th-place finish in the third division standings in spite of the off-field problems.
Sellés has made it clear that he intends to stay on as Reading’s manager for the upcoming season. Though Dai Yongge committed to exclusive talks with a new buyer in March, he has stated that he is mainly interested in working at the club under new ownership.
Through The Coaches’ Voice, Sellés stated, “Looking ahead, longer-term, my ambition is always to come back to the top level and try to compete against the very best teams.” “Hopefully, I can finish that off with my country’s national team one day.
I would really like to stay working with the amazing group I now have in Reading. However, we must wait and see how the takeover plays out.
It’s possible that the takeover is unsuccessful. “No member of the team should have to endure a season like the previous one, where they were denied points, had to wait for their paychecks every week, were unable to book hotels the night before the game, and one day discovered they were going to sell the training facility. We are unable to recreate that turmoil.
“We must concentrate on instilling a passion for football in the players, staff, and supporters. “Then I think we could have a great time.” Reading’s survival from relegation Until the latter parts of this season, Reading faced the prospect of being relegated from the Championship to League Two twice in a row.
They improved to 17th in the table under Sellés’s direction, thanks to a stronger second half of the campaign. The Royals finished comfortably above the drop to the fourth tier, with the final difference between them and the bottom four being nine points.
Now, the Berkshire team will be looking forward to a more comfortable second season in League One, where they want to challenge for a return to the Championship. Although there hasn’t been an official announcement of an agreement between Yongge and a potential buyer, supporters will be eager to see a new ownership arrangement reached quickly.
Sellés deserves the opportunity to advance Reading. Although Sellés had a very challenging first year as manager, he ultimately managed a strong conclusion to the campaign. It turned out to be crucial to keep the team in League One, and he deserves the opportunity to stay on the team.
Though he has earned the opportunity to try under more experienced management, there are no guarantees he is the right man to lead Reading back to the Championship. Reading needs a takeover agreement as soon as possible in order to get past this extremely challenging time for the team.
