Ian Holloway is being lined up to take over the vacant Queens Park Rangers position.
According to Sky Sports, Ian Holloway is to be named as Queens Park Rangers’ new manager.
The report claims that the former Blackpool and Millwall boss will be officially appointed within 24 hours, succeeding Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink who received his marching orders this past week.
Hasselbaink had been in charge of QPR for less than a year after he traded Burton Albion for the West London club last December.

The Hoops have ambitions of becoming an established Premier League club, yet under Hasselbaink’s tenure the club struggled to make any inroads towards the Championship’s top six.
After finishing in midtable last term, just five wins in their opening 16 matches this season has left QPR in a lowly 17th position in the table and some six points short of the top six.
Holloway has spent the past 18 months or so working for Sky Sports as a pundit following his dismissal by Millwall, but the 53-year-old does have plenty of managerial experience.

He guided both Blackpool and Crystal Palace to the Premier League via Championship playoff victories, while he had a previous five-year stint at Loftus Road at the beginning of the millennium.
Holloway has been deemed as a shock replacement for Hasselbaink by many connected with QPR, yet there is no doubt he has the capabilities to help the club mount a sustained promotion push.
