According to the Reading Chronicle, Reading manager Ruben Selles is expected to join Championship underdogs Hull City.
The majority of fans view the Spaniard, who moved from Southampton last summer, as a hero for steering the team through difficult times.
The Royals finished 17th in League One last season despite dealing with ongoing turmoil off the pitch and losing players and coaching personnel to sales and layoffs.
Even more astonishing is the current campaign, which has seen the Royals sit sixth after 17 games. On Tuesday, his final game as manager, the team defeated Cambridge United 3-0 in front of fewer than 8,500 fans.
Tim Walter was fired by the Tigers last month, and they are currently in the relegation zone of the level above.
The Reading Chronicle, who had Selles as their top target early on, has learnt that a deal is almost finalised for him to transfer to the MKM Stadium.
Before moving on to the second layer, he is thought to have returned to Bearwood this morning [Thursday, December 5] to say his farewell.
With the club still under Dai Yongge’s control, this is the most recent setback in an agonising 18 months for Reading fans.
