League One club Reading have sacked manager Noel Hunt.
The Royals are 19th in the table, with just three wins from 14 games this season, and are just two points above the relegation zone following Saturday's home draw with Doncaster Rovers.
The 42-year-old was appointed in December 2024 after Ruben Selles left for Hull.
Hunt signed a two-and-a-half-year contract and had previously had a stint as caretaker boss at the club following the sacking of Paul Ince in April 2023.
Hunt made 162 appearances during a five-year spell at Reading as a player, scoring 39 goals, and was a popular figure among fans.
Chairman Rob Couhig said in a statement on the club website, external that it had been a "difficult" decision to part with Hunt but "results have not reached the level required".
The statement added: "Noel Hunt is far more than just a former manager of this football club – he is part of the fabric of Reading FC.
"As a player, he fought for this badge. As a coach in our academy, he helped shape the next generation of Royals.
"As first-team manager, he stepped up in very challenging circumstances and gave everything for the club.
"Noel has conducted himself with integrity, hard work and total commitment. He cares deeply about Reading Football Club and he leaves with his head held high."
