| Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink takes charge at QPR |
QPR have confirmed the appointment of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink as their new manager.
The former Chelsea striker has left his role at Burton, who are currently top of League One, and signed a rolling contract at Loftus Road.
Hasselbaink replaces Chris Ramsey, who was sacked a month ago following Rangers' unconvincing start to the season.
Neil Warnock then then returned to the Hoops as interim manager and guided the club to two wins, a draw and a defeat from four games, culminating in last night's win at Reading.
Hasselbaink, 43, takes over a Rangers side lying 11th in the Championship following last season's relegation and is relishing the challenge.
He said: “It was not an easy decision to leave Burton.
“But when you get the opportunity to come somewhere like QPR, with the club where it is and the squad we have at our disposal, it was something I couldn’t turn down.

“I feel that this is a club on the up – it has an exciting feeling about it. And I want to keep that feeling going by taking more positive strides forward.
“I am happy to get the opportunity here at QPR, to lead the QPR family, be at the front of it all, put my stamp on things and take the club forward.
“This is an incredibly proud moment for me and I will give my all to represent the badge of the club.”
