QPR sacks Chris Ramsey

Championship side, Queens Park Rangers head coach Chris Ramsey has been sacked.

The 53-year-old, who was appointed as permanent Rangers boss in May following a spell in caretaker charge, leaves a day after a 1-0 defeat by Derby left the club 13th in the Championship.

Les Ferdinand, the Hoops’ director of football, said the move was made in the “best interests of the club”.

Former boss Neil Warnock, who has been acting as an advisor at the club, has been placed in temporary charge.
