'I truly believed we were on the path': Hunt releases statement following Reading departure

Former Reading striker Hunt - who signed a two-and-a-half-year deal to become the first-team boss back in late 2024, having previously served as interim manager - departs with the Royals just two points above the relegation zone in League One.

Former Republic of Ireland international Noel Hunt has shared his disappointment following his dismissal as Reading boss earlier this week.

42-year-old Waterford native Hunt was relieved of his duties as Royals boss after the club's 1-1 draw at home to Doncaster Rovers on Saturday last, a result that left them 19th in the League One table.
