Ainsworth won only five of 28 games in chargeDecision made after home defeat by Leicester left them 23rd
Queens Park Rangers have sacked Gareth Ainsworth after a sixth straight defeat left them 23rd, six points from safety in the Championship. The 50-year-old, appointed in February after 11 years at Wycombe, won only five of his 28 games and saw his side beaten 2-1 at home by Leicester on Saturday. His assistant, Richard Dobson, has also departed.
Lee Hoos, QPR’s chief executive, said: “Making a call such as this is never easy, and it is even more difficult when you have such respect on both a personal and professional level for the individuals concerned – which we all do for Gareth and Richard.
