Former Liverpool Academy coach Neil Critchley has been relieved of his duties at Queens Park Rangers, just two months after being appointed by the Championship club.
Identified in December as a replacement for fellow ex-Liverpool employee Michael Beale, who left the second tier side for Rangers, Critchley won his first game in charge against Preston but has failed to secure a second victory in the 11 matches that have since followed.
QPR sat in the play-off places after Critchley's one and only win as head coach but are now closer to the relegation zone than the top six, highlighting the drastic drop-off in performance levels. Such is the severity of this decline, the 44-year-old has now been sacked. His assistants Iain Brunskill and Mike Garrity, who have also previously served in roles at Liverpool, have also departed.
