QPR have appointed Chris Ramsey as head coach on a three-year contract.

Ramsey, 53, was given the job until the end of the season in February after Harry Redknapp resigned but failed to prevent Premier League relegation.

“When Chris took over the role we were already in a very difficult position,” said club chairman Tony Fernandes.

“Despite our relegation, we – as a board – have been impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail he has demonstrated.”

QPR have won three of Ramsey’s 14 games in charge and go into their final game of the season at Leicester bottom of the top flight on goal difference.

Fernandes added: “He lives and breathes management and coaching and I am sure he will flourish in this role as we look to bounce back from this season’s disappointments.

“This is a new start for us and one I am confident Chris will relish playing a major part in.”
