Queens Park Rangers officially announced they have appointed head coach Chris Ramsey as the club's permanent manager on a three-year contract after leading the team since February following the resignation of Harry Redknapp.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for me and one I am tremendously excited about," Ramsey told the club website. "I enjoyed my time in temporary charge, despite the way the season panned out, and now I’m looking forward to the challenge of helping rebuild this club over the coming years. I am fully aware of what this club means to its supporters and I intend to do everything possible to help build a QPR team they can be proud of.”
QPR director of football Les Ferdinand told the club website that Ramsey has impressed everyone in his time in charge of the club, even though the Hoops will be relegated from the Premier League for the second time in the last three seasons.
“From the board, to the players, to the staff, Chris has impressed everyone here in his short time in charge," Ferdinand said. "His coaching methods and techniques are second to none and with an opportunity to work with new players going forward, he is the ideal candidate for the role in terms of our new philosophy of nurturing young talent and promoting from within. Rebuilding the club is our first target. If we can make an immediate return to the Premier League, then great, but we have to focus on re-establishing the traditions of QPR. That will take time, but in Chris we have a man who is relishing the challenge that lies ahead.”
