“If the opportunity is there then I’d prefer to work in the UK but if something else pops up then I’m open to that as well. I’m sure I can work the Premier League, maybe my style of play is better suited to the Premier League than in the Championship.

“But if the opportunity is there to work in the championship I would love to do that as well. I’m open to everything, even League One it doesn’t matter, as long as the team I work with wants to improve themselves and has certain ambitions to go forward. There have been many offers from certain clubs but there’s nothing yet for myself to say I’m going to do this,” he told Sky Sports.

He led the former Premier League side to Championship play-offs but claimed that he lacked enough backing from the club’s management.

“It was a great time working at Reading, especially the first season getting very close to going to the Premier League. If the club doesn’t want to invest then it’s going to be hard to maintain that certain level. The second season is always going to be harder and then you need to bring extra quality into the squad. If that’s not going to happen then it becomes a very difficult time and that’s what happened in the second season,” he said.
