Reading have officially named former Southampton boss Ruben Selles as their new manager following the arrival of his visa.

The 40-year-old has been with the squad for almost three weeks, including travelling with the squad to Spain, but has been unable to formally take sessions or be announced until a visa had been issued.

However, this has now been completed and Selles will be on the touchline for tomorrow's clash with Sutton United.

Winning two of 17 matches in charge on the south coast as the Saints were relegated from the Premier League in his only senior managerial role to date.

The former fitness coach has experience in Greece, Russia, Azerbaijan, Denmark and Spain.

It ends the 13-week wait for an official manager, and follows quickly from the first summer transfer signing- Harvey Knibbs.
