‘It wouldn’t be a sensible decision to sack him’ – Aluko backs Reading’s Jaap Stam
The Nigeria international said kicking out the Royals boss will be a wrong move by the club as he and his teammates remain focused on winning games
Sone Aluko has backed Reading manager Jaap Stam to keep his job at the Madejski Stadium and urged his teammates to continue their winning form.
The Royals are placed 18th in the English Championship log with 18 points from 15 games and the gaffer’s future at the club is in doubts.
However, the 28-year-old wants his teammates to ease pressure off the former AC Milan defender who signed him from Fulham in the summer.
“I block out that noise. It doesn’t help the team and it doesn’t help the manager,” Aluko told Reading Chronicle.
