Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink took his first training session as Queens Park Rangers’ new manager on Friday after agreeing to succeed Chris Ramsey.

The former Holland international, who was given permission this week by Burton Albion, the League One leaders, to hold talks with QPR, was pictured at the club’s Harlington training ground. He was officially confirmed in his new post on Friday afternoon having signed a “rolling contract” with the west London club.

“It was not an easy decision to leave Burton, but when you get the opportunity to come to somewhere like QPR, with the club where it is and the squad we have at our disposal, it was something I couldn’t turn down,” Hasselbaink said.

“I feel Arsenal kläder that this is a club on the up – it has an exciting feeling about it. And I want to keep that feeling going by taking more positive strides forward.

“I am happy to get the opportunity here at QPR, to lead the QPR family, be at the front of it all, put my stamp on things and take the club forward. This is an incredibly proud moment for me and I will give my all to represent the badge of the club.”

Hasselbaink, who will be joined at the club by assistant manager David Oldfield, will take over at Loftus Road with the club 11th in the Championship after Thursday’s 1-0 win at Reading.

Les Ferdinand, QPR’s director of football, admitted he was delighted to appoint their preferred choice.

“We went through a very meticulous recruitment process that generated a lot of excellent candidates,” said the former England striker.

“We Barcelona tröja barn gave ourselves a real selection headache with the high level of candidates we spoke to, but Jimmy was the best of the best, without any doubt.

“We have been hugely impressed by his work at Burton. Having won League Two, he leaves them at the top of League One, which is an incredible achievement.”
