LONDON: Former England soccer manager Steve McClaren has joined the backroom team at relegated Queens Park Rangers, the club said yesterday.
McClaren had been out of work since his second spell at Twente Enschede came to an end in February. He joins the west London club as manager Harry Redknapp plots their return to the Premier League after they finished bottom last season.
“I’m delighted to take up this position offered to me by Harry and QPR,” McClaren said on the club website (www.qpr.co.uk).
“Whilst it still remains my ambition to manage again this gives me an ideal opportunity to stay involved and work on the field with one of the top managers in this country and a very ambitious club. Rest assured, I’ll be doing all I can for Harry, the club and the fans to help QPR return to the Premier League.” REUTERS
