List of Queens Park Rangers F.C. managers

This chronological list of managers of Queens Park Rangers Football Club comprises all those who have held the position of manager of the first team of Queens Park Rangers since the team first turned professional.[1] Turnover of managers has been brisk in recent years, with the team changing managers on five occasions during the 2009–2010 season alone,[2] which included Paul Hart, who was the shortest lived manager in QPR history when he resigned after just 28 days in charge – one day less than Tommy Docherty's reign in November 1968.[3]

Managers

Information correct as of 4 April 2011, only competitive matches are counted. Caretaker managers are shown in italics.
