Harry Redknapp Resigns As QPR Manager

Harry Redknapp has resigned as manager of QPR the club have confirmed.

The manager has been in charge of QPR for two years and guided them last season to the top flight although they have been far from impressive this season as they sit second from bottom in the league standings.


Redknapp revealed that he is to undergo a knee replacement surgery and may not be able to give a 100 percent to the club. Les Ferdinand and Chris Ramsey have been placed in charge while a successor is being found.

Redknapp had been under intense pressure this season and a recent 3-1 defeat at Stoke did nothing to ease that pressure.

Redknapp said "I had a fantastic time at QPR. I would like to thank the board, the players and all my staff and especially the supporters who have been absolutely fantastic to me since I arrived at the club for their tremendous support".

"Sadly I need immediate surgery on my knee which is going to stop me from doing my job in the coming weeks. It means I won't be able to be out on the training pitch every day and if i can't give 100 percent i feel its better for someone to take over the reins".

"My relationship with Tony Fernandes has been one of the highlights of my footballing career and i wish the club every success. I am confident they will survive in the premier league this year".

Fernandes said in his comment "I would like to take this opportunity to thank Harry for everything he has done for the QPR during his time in charge.

"We part on good terms and i would personally like to wish him all the best for the future".

QPR take on Southampton at home during the weekend and would look to secure a victory
