QPR appoint Paul Hart after Jim Magilton leaves
QPR have signed Paul Hart as manager untill the end of the season - a day after Jim Magilton left the club by mutual consent.
Paul Hart is back in management less than a month after being axed by Portsmouth and replaces Jim Magilton at QPR.
Former Luton boss Mick Harford, who had a spell in caretaker charge of Rangers in 2007, will be Hart’s assistant.
He said: “I’m here now, what has happened in the past has happened and I don’t know too much about it. We have to look to the future.
“We’ve got a strong squad of players and we feel we might cause a bit of damage in the Championship.”
Their first game in charge will be against Sheffield United at Loftus Road on Saturday.
Magilton was suspended by the club over a dressing-room bust-up with midfielder Akos Buzsaky following the televised 3-1 defeat at Watford last week.
The 40-year-old strongly denied allegations of a head-butt but after Buzsaky issued an ’either he goes or I go’ ultimatum to chairman Flavio Briatore, Magilton’s time was up after six months in charge.
