Neil Warnock ‘set for QPR job’ after Leicester defeat sparks Ainsworth sacking
Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive after the Foxes condemn QPR to their sixth successive defeat
Former Huddersfield Town boss Neil Warnock
Neil Warnock will reportedly become the next Queens Park Rangers manager after Gareth Ainsworth was sacked following their 2-1 loss to Leicester City on Saturday.
The west London club suffered their sixth defeat in a row as goals from Stephy Mavididi and Harry Winks either side of Andre Dozzell’s finish, saw QPR fall six points from safety after 14 games.
Ainsworth departs the Championship strugglers having won just five of his 28 games in charge of the club since arriving from Wycombe in February.
And now according to claims in The Telegraph Warnock is expected to take the reins for his third spell in charge at QPR. The 74-year-old insisted he wasn’t retiring when he left Huddersfield Town last month.
But the veteran manager could now be set for another return to Loftus Road. Warnock took QPR to the Premier League during his first spell at the club between 2010 and 2012 before returning as caretaker boss in 2015.
The report also claims that former Luton and Southampton boss Nathan Jones is also interested in the role. However, it is said that Warnock is likely to be appointed until the end of the season.
