Queens Park Rangers are reportedly set to appoint Ian Holloway.

Harry Redknapp has told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 11th November, that Ian Holloway could do a good job at Queens Park Rangers.

Holloway looks set to become QPR’s next manager, after they parted company with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

And Redknapp believes that Rangers fans will welcome Holloway back to Loftus Road.

“Les [Ferdinand] will know Olly well,” he said. “It’s a great job for him going back there, he was a good player there and the crowd would welcome him back, I’m sure.”

When Holloway was last in charge at QPR he lasted for five years at Loftus Road, and guided them to promotion from League One.

Holloway was unable to get QPR out of mid-table in the Championship following that promotion, but he will be hoping for an improvement this time around.

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes is known to want to see his side challenging for the play offs.

As things stand, QPR are in 17th place in the Championship table – and they are six points back from the play off spots.

Holloway’s first match in charge of QPR is set to come at the weekend, when the R’s take on Norwich City at Loftus Road.
