Reading’s long-term nemesis, Neil Warnock, has confirmed his latest retirement after an eight-game spell at Aberdeen.
The 75-year-old has been a regular fixture against the Royals in the last 30 years, taking charge of famous clashes while in charge of Sheffield United, Cardiff City, Queens Park Rangers and Leeds United.
An admirer of Reading, to the surprise of many, even admitting to applying to manage the club under Sir John Madejski.
Having ‘retired’ more than twice, the Yorkshireman consistently steps in to save clubs from relegation, such as Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United in the last decade.
Linked with the recent vacancy at Plymouth Argyle, well-known for living in Cornwall, the Pilgrims have announced that Director of Football Neil Dewsnip will replace Ian Foster until the end of the season.
“I’m retired now,” he told TalkSPORT. “I would’ve [helped at Plymouth] but not now. It’s all done and dusted now. I’m looking forward to going to some of the islands up there [Scotland]. I’ve got a bucket list now.”
Warnock has almost 2,000 professional matches in management and nobody has won more promotions than the veteran.
He had a one-month spell at Pittodre with Aberdeen, leading the Dons to a Scottish Cup semi-final.
