Mark Hughes has been confirmed as the new manager of Queens Park Rangers Premier League football club on a two-and-a-half year contract.

The former Wales, Manchester City and Fulham manager replaces Neil Warnock, who was sacked on Monday by Loftus Road chiefs following a disappointing run of results.

The QPR chairman Tony Fernandes said Hughes' experience and ambition had been the key factor in the decision.
