The 46-year-old will work with the Royals’ director of football Brian Tevreden to help identify players to bring to Madejski Stadium.

Gorre, from Suriname, had a 17-year playing career in Holland and England.

He played for Feyenoord, Groningen and Ajax before joining Town in September 1999.

After 68 appearances and seven goals, Gorre joined Barnsley in July 2001 and also had a short spell at Blackpool before moving into coaching at Stoke City.

Gorre also coached at Southampton, Dutch club Roosendaal and Ajax before joining the Scotland set-up, then taking charge of the Suriname national team.

Gorre’s son Kenji is a 22-year-old winger who is currently on loan at Northampton Town from Swansea City while his other son Aidan,12, is in the youth ranks at Manchester United.
