QPR Officially Sack Manager Ian Holloway After 18-Month Stint at Loftus Road

Championship side Queens Park Rangers have parted ways with manager Ian Holloway, confirming the coach made his exit on Thursday afternoon, following an 18-month spell at Loftus Road.

A statement on the club's official website reads: "Ian Holloway has left QPR with immediate effect."

Holloway, who had previously managed the London outfit from 2001-2006, returned to the helm in November of 2016 after stints with Plymouth Argyle, Leicester City, Blackpool, Crystal Palace and Millwall.

He also led the side to Second Division promotion in 2004.

"We are hugely grateful to Ian for his incredible efforts during his time with us," chief executive Lee Hoos stated.
