QPR have appointed former manager Chris Ramsey as technical director, it was announced yesterday.
The 53-year-old was sacked by the club in November and replaced by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, but has returned to Loftus Road.
Ramsey was in charge of Rangers between February and November last year, winning just nine of his 32 games as they were relegated from the Premier League last season.
Director of football Les Ferdinand revealed Ramsey had a clause in his contract which paved the way for his comeback.
“While we were disappointed things didn’t work out with Chris at first-team level earlier in the season, we were determined to retain his services at QPR,” Ferdinand told the club’s official site.
“As such, we actually put a clause in his contract which allowed us to retain Chris’s services in a player-development role should things not work out for him as head coach.”
Ramsey will oversee coaching and coach education within the club’s academy and be responsible for developing and implementing player development strategies.
He will also oversee the integration between the academy, development squad and first team, as well as focusing on the monitoring and reporting of players on loan to other clubs.
Rangers are 16th in the Championship with Ramsey’s replacement Hasselbaink yet to win in six games in charge.
