- Dowie handed Hoops return
Queens Park Rangers have brought Iain Dowie back to the club as their new first-team coach, having recently parted company with Luigi De Canio.
The 43-year-old has previously enjoyed spells at Loftus Road as a player, caretaker boss and assistant manager and has now been handed the task of trying to mastermind a promotion push.
He told the club's official website: "This is a very exciting long-term project.
"I'm very privileged to have been given the opportunity under the new ownership to return to the club where I served my managerial apprenticeship.
"I've been thoroughly impressed by the new investors and their fresh, aggressive and innovative approach to all sporting matters, as well as the marketing and commercial aspect of the club.
"QPR is a fantastic club, with a long and successful history and I'm going to relish the challenge that lies ahead."
