Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince has been sacked by Reading.
The Royals were beaten 2-1 by Preston North End on Easter Monday with the result leaving them 22nd in the Championship table. Ince has now been removed from his role with Noel Hunt taking over as interim manager.
The change comes just seven days after the club accepted an immediate six-point deduction after breaching financial rules. Ince, 55, departs after just over a year in charge at the Select Car Leasing Stadium having returned to management eight years after he left Blackpool.
