Chairman Rob Couhig said in a statement on the club’s website, external He said it was a “difficult” decision to leave Hunt but “the results were not up to par.”
The statement added: “Noel Hunt is much 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 the Royals.
“As first-team coach, he stepped up in very difficult 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 leaves with his head held high.”
