Queens Park Rangers confirm appointment of Mark Warburton as manager on two-year contract.



QPR confirm appointment of ex-Nottingham Forest manager Mark Warburton


Wednesday 8th May 2019


Queens Park Rangers have confirmed the appointment of former Nottingham Forest manager Mark Warburton.

The 56-year-old, who has been out of football since leaving the City Ground back in 2017, has penned a two-year deal at Loftus Road.

Warburton takes charge nine weeks on from the sacking of ex-England boss Steve McLaren who, after taking charge of the R's a year ago this month, couldn't put an end to his side's dismal run of Championship form.

Former Coventry City and Watford midfielder John Eustace, who ended the season as caretaker manager, is expected to remain at the club as Warburton's number two.


"When I spoke to QPR they were very clear," Warburton told QPR's official site.

"They have a solid plan and know what they want. They have a long-term outlook and that appealed to me immediately.

"I am excited about the challenge that lies ahead.

"I am delighted and privileged to be managing this club."

That's a good recruitment for QPR and expect them to be battling around the Play-offs next season :thumbup:

Very good appointment for them.

I'd expect a season of consolidating and then a push for the top six the following season.

Sheffield Wednesday are the team to watch next season. Did very well since Bruce came in.

Preston are another outsider.
