Clement, who was previously the manager of Premier League strugglers Swansea City before his sacking in December, will take charge ahead of Reading's league game against Queens Park Rangers at the Madejski Stadium on March 30.

"I am delighted to have secured the services of a hugely experienced forward-thinking manager like Paul," Reading chief executive Ron Gourlay said.

Reading parted company with Stam after a run of poor results that left the second-tier club languishing in 20th place in the 24-team Championship, three points above the drop zone.
