Jaap Stam has been appointed manager of Championship club Reading, becoming the first overseas boss in the Royals history.
The former Manchester United, Milan and Lazio defender will take on his first managerial role after leaving his position as coach at Ajax, where he ended his playing career.
Stam, 43, succeeds Brian McDermott after his second spell at the helm ended following a 17th-placed finish in 2015-16.
A winner of major honours in three countries, ex-Netherlands international Stam has penned a two-year deal at the Madejski Stadium.
I was looking for a team that wanted to achieve something, he told Reading s official website.
You always need to have ambition. As a player I wanted to achieve the most of everything and get as high a…
Fabian Schar was Newcastle United s surprise hero as his double earned a 3-0 home win over Cardiff City and moved Rafael Benitez s men out of the Premier League bottom three.
Defender Schar, in the team as Rafael Benitez s only change from last week s loss to Chelsea, had not scored since November 2017 while playing for Deportivo La Coruna, but produced a crucial double on Saturday.
He netted in both halves and Ayoze Perez put the icing on the cake in stoppage-time, meaning Newcastle move back out of the drop zone after dropping into it last weekend.
They are replaced in the relegation places by a poor Cardiff side who did not even register a shot on target until the 72nd minute.
at the double!

In what is a heavyweight showdown at the top of the Serie A standings, Palmeiras will welcome Flamengo to the Allianz Parque in the early hours of Sunday.
Palmeiras
Starting with the hosts, while Palmerias might have opened the 2023 campaign with their sights set on defending their Serie A crown, Abel Ferreira’s men are some way off the pace. Although the Brazilian giants might have signed off June with a thumping 4-0 victory against Bolivar in Copa Libertadores action, it appears that might have just been a minor boost for the Big Green. Last seen putting in another downbeat display earlier in the week as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat away at Sao Paulo, the former Braga boss has seen his squad won just one of their last five appeara…
Bernd Schuster has praised Schalke striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar following his superb form in the 2011-12 campaign.
Huntelaar moved to Real Madrid in January 2009, less than one month after Schuster had left his post as coach of Los Blancos, but never really managed to secure regular first-team action at the Santiago Bernabeu.
After an unsuccessful spell with AC Milan, Huntelaar joined Schalke in the summer of 2010. He has since rediscovered his scoring touch at the Bundesliga side this term, and Schuster is impressed with the attacker s finishing skills.
He looks like he was cloned from Marco van Basten. The way he moves, shoots with both legs and his powerful headers, all reminds me of Van Basten, Schuster said.
Team-mate Lewis Holtby was equally positi…
Lyon have extended the contract of Alexandre Lacazette by two years, according to chairman Jean-Michel Aulas.
The France international striker had been heavily linked with a move away from the Ligue 1 outfit during the transfer window, with Premier League side Newcastle United strongly tipped with his signature.
However, Lyon managed to keep hold of one of their most valuable assets with no deal being completed before Monday s deadline.
Aulas has now stated that Lacazette has signed a new deal, reportedly through to 2018, while also revealing that midfielder Yoann Gourcuff who has struggled for form and fitness since joining in 2010 has agreed to play this season on reduced terms.
Yoann Gourcuff has agreed to reduce his salary for the season and we have …

Bayern Munich superstar striker Robert Lewandowski has enjoyed a stellar start to the new season.
The 29-year-old only continued his impressive form from the last campaign by notching 11 goals for Bayern in 10 matches across all competitions. His formidable goalscoring exploits once again gained plenty of attention from continental giants.
Lewandowski has reemerged as a target for both Real Madrid and Manchester City who are reportedly keen to pounce for the Bayern Munich striker next summer.
Speaking to the Munich based media outlet TZ however, Robert Lewandowski ruled out the exit talks claiming he ‘feels very comfortable in Munich’.
The most recent departure speculations are nothing new for the player who’s been constantly linked with a move awa…
Real Madrid have completed the loan signing – with an option to buy – of promising Getafe forward Hugo Duro.
The 20-year-old, who was called up to the Spain Under-21 squad for the first time last week, will join up with Madrid s second team, Castilla, for the 2020-21 Segunda B1 season as he looks to earn a permanent move.
Duro has most regularly represented Getafe s B team, but since making his LaLiga debut in March 2018, he has gone on to make 25 appearances in the top tier.
The majority of those came as a substitute, which goes some way to explaining his return of just a single goal in LaLiga, but he did feature in nine of Getafe s 11 LaLiga matches after the coronavirus-enforced hiatus.
He has shown enough promise with the first team and B side –…
