Weird hiring. Not like he won anything in MLS.
But Reading is off to a good start so maybe it will work out.The choice who preceded Paunovic was weird too. Reading hired Mark Bowen as director of football in August 2019. Two months later, when the owners decided to sack their manager, they naturally asked Bowen to draw up a shortlist of potential successors.
Bowen, then 56 and never a full-time manager before in his life, put his own name at the top of the shortlist. The club - perhaps admiring his front - agreed to his modest proposal.
Bowen rejected a new role at the club following Paunovic's appointment.
