A club statement read: "Reading Football Club can confirm that the contract of first team manager Veljko Paunovic has been terminated by mutual consent."The Serbian was appointed as manager of the Royals in late August 2020 and without fans in the stands to support him or his side, we sustained a push for promotion for much of his maiden campaign in the Championship - only for our play-off hopes to fade in the final few weeks of 2020-21.Who should replace him?
