Mark Hughes sacked as Queens Park Rangers manager


QPR have sacked manager Mark Hughes after 10 months in charge with the club bottom of the Premier League.
"The circumstances we find ourselves in have left the board of directors with very little choice but to make a change," read a club statement.
"The board will now be working actively to put a new managerial structure in place as soon as possible."
Assistant manager Mark Bowen and coach Eddie Niedzwiecki will take charge against Manchester United on Saturday.
Analysis

Chief football writer, BBC Sport
"This time last week QPR owner Tony Fernandes was Tweeting 'for the one millionth time' that manager Mark Hughes would not be sacked.

"Fernandes has been a constant shield for the man he appointed in January - but eventually there was no protection for Hughes from the sort of results he had overseen.

"It will be a personal blow to Fernandes after investing so much personally and financially in Hughes but failure to record a single Premier League win this season has forced him to push the button.

"The arrival of Harry Redknapp looks a formality - but what will he make of the assortment of hired hands assembled by Hughes during a chaotic summer at Loftus Road?"

The club said it would make "a further announcement in due course", with former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp favourite to take charge at Loftus Road.
Hughes's final match in charge was a home defeat by fellow strugglers Southampton.
"This decision has been taken after careful consideration by the board of directors, following numerous meetings over the last few days," the statement added.
"The board of directors wish to thank Mark for his commitment, hard work and dedication in his 10 months in charge.
"Mark has shown integrity and professionalism throughout his time."
The Hoops only managed to preserve their Premier League status on the final day of last season and, despite a massive overhaul during the summer, Hughes's team have continued to struggle.
The arrivals at QPR have included keeper Julio Cesar, defender Jose Bosingwa, midfielders Esteban Granero, Park Ji-sung and Stephane Mbia, as well as strikers Djibril Cisse and Bobby Zamora.
But Hughes, 49, led his side to just four points from their opening 12 games, including eight defeats.
QPR chairman Tony Fernandes had continually backed Hughes but has finally run out of patience with the former Wales, Blackburn and Manchester City boss.
The Malaysian entrepreneur agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Hughes in January after the Welshman quit Fulham in June 2011 to "further my experiences".
MARK HUGHES' CAREER

Playing career takes in spells at Manchester United (twice), Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Everton, Blackburn, Southampton and Wales
Scores 163 goals in 606 club appearances. Wins 72 caps for Wales, scoring 16 times
Appointed part-time Wales manager in 1999

Appointed Fulham boss in July 2010, leads them to eighth in Premier League

Appointed QPR boss in January 2012
Sacked by QPR in November 2012
Former QPR winger Richard Langley told BBC Radio 5 live: "The frustration has been brewing, but the main thing is he has had such a talented squad but results have not been coming.
"It is difficult to understand why they have not won. But, for me, the most outstanding thing is that they have not been playing as a team. There seems to have been little fire from the manager."
Redknapp, who was sacked by Tottenham in June , refused to be drawn when asked on Saturday's edition of Match of the Day about the possibility of replacing Hughes.
The 65-year-old took over at Tottenham in October 2008 when, like QPR now, they were bottom of the Premier League.
He led them on their first Champions League campaign in 2010-11 and achieved a fourth-place finish in his final season in charge.
Redknapp returned to League One side Bournemouth, the team he managed for nine years from 1983 to 1992, in an advisory capacity in September but it is thought he is no longer at the club.

denied sacking him Monday then sack him the day before a game! crazy!
Harry Redknapp 2 go there?

Harry Redknapp 1/16 to be their next manager.

Not really surprising either, apart from the time it took. Whats the odds on Di Matteo replacing him???

Will be a lot of bargains to be found at QPR this Jan. If Redknapp takes the job he would have been promised a huge war chest and be bringing a lot of players in

20's by the looks of it.

25/1

Maybe it was my comment on his fb status that tipped him

One Malaysian fan even praised Cardiff and told tony to sort it out

Di Matteo off to Napoli Allegedly

In London most of this week, just spoke to a mate who is a big R's fan and STH - 'Arry's in apparently. Good opp for MM to poach but he's no doubt covered that off months ago.

Who reckons Sparky will get involved with the Wales set-up? After all, he couldn't make it any worse, could he?

QPR deserve to get relegated they sacked Warnock the very man who took them to the PL and even though I don't rate Hughes I believe the board should have stuck by their decision to replace Warnock with Hughes.Someone needs to resign for dodgy decisions.The same happened with Leeds when they sacked O'Leary it was never good enough.QPR need to remember it wasn't long ago they were in the league 1 play off final with us.
I hope our fans remember where we came from.

You mention David o Leary above. Did he ever get another job in football after Leeds? Strange if he didn't but I can't recall him doing so.

Who'll be next, I wonder......

Didn't David O'Leary go to villa after Leeds? Sure he's at an Arab club nowadays though

He probably frightened people off after his lunatic rant when we knocked them out of the FA Cup.

yes, he did have 3 seasons at Villa.

For some reason, I thought he managed Villa before Leeds. I stand corrected.

Reading some of the comments on this forum over the past few weeks Im surprised alot of you haven't called for Mark Hughes to replace Malky

Fair enough. Thought he was a decent manager, then when you mentioned him I couldn't recall it.

I take it with a pinch of salt, mate. I don't think most of them want Malky out, just the occasional weirdo.

Its definitly 'Arry. The local Coutts at Monaco have just confirmed that he's set up an account in the name of his wife's cat. Good luck in your new job then, TrixieBell Pusskins.
