QPR have appointed former England boss Glenn Hoddle as their new first team coach.

The former England manager will assist manager Harry Redknapp and work alongside coaches Kevin Bond and Joe Jordan.

Hoddle, who was linked with Tottenham after Andres Villas-Boas' signing last season, has not been involved in club management since leaving Wolves eight years ago, regularly appearing as a pundit as well as running the Glenn Hoddle Academy in Spain since then.

Having won promotion to the Premier League, QPR begin their season at home to Hull on Saturday.

This summer they have signed former Man United centre-half Rio Ferdinand, and ex-Cardiff duo Steven Caulker and Jordan Mutch, while Chile full-back Mauricio Isla has arrived on loan from Juventus.
