Sky Bet Championship QPR sack Ian Holloway


Ian Holloway has been sacked by Queens Park Rangers after the conclusion of the Sky Bet Championship season.

The 55-year-old joined the Rs for a second spell as boss in November 2016, signing a two-and-a-half year deal.

But Holloway has departed with 12 months remaining on his contract after Rangers finished 16th in the Championship this season.

Holloway won 26, drew 14 and lost 40 of his 80 games in charge at a time of transition for QPR.

Chief executive Lee Hoos said: "On behalf of the board we are hugely grateful to Ian for his incredible efforts during his time with us.

"He joined us at a critical stage as we looked to reduce the wage bill, bring in younger talent and remain competitive on the pitch at the same time. That is no easy task and it was down to his desire, love for the club and hard work that he achieved those goals.

"However, we are now looking to take the next step as we continue to work through what is a vital period of transition for the football club."
