(Reuters) - The former Manchester United and Netherlands defender Jaap Stam is the new manager of English Championship side Reading, the club confirmed on Monday.

The 43-year-old moves from Ajax, where he worked as a coach, to become Reading's first non-British manager. He succeeds Brian McDermott, who was sacked last month after the club finished 17th in England's second tier.
