First team coach Luigi de Canio has left Queens Park Rangers with immediate effect by "mutual consent".
The Championship club, who have major financial backing, say they will announce a successor in "due course".
Italian De Canio was appointed in October 2007 and signed a three-year deal at the Loftus Road outfit.
"The club would like to place on record its thanks to Luigi for his contribution to QPR," said a club statement on their website.
"We wish him all the best for a successful future.
"Mr De Canio also wanted to express his gratitude for the opportunity to manage QPR and also for the fantastic experience he had during his time in England.
606: DEBATE
What do you think of De Canio's exit?
"The club will be making no further statement at this stage."
De Canio joined QPR after spells at Udinese, Napoli, Reggina, Genoa and Siena.
The club were struggling at the bottom end of the Championship when he took over and he eventually led them to 14th place.
He now leaves with the club's wealthy owners of Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone - as well as the son-in-law of Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal - set to fund a spending spree to launch a promotion assault next season.

Bit suprising, he seemed like a bit of a character on the touchline at molineux. Another Italian manager maybe?

No surprise this - QPR have big plans and will go for a big name to go with it.

Will be interesting to see who takes the role - what with the financial muscle QPR now exert. Also be interesting to see what sort of players go there aswell, as obviously a return to the Prem is what is wanted. |

I was out and about in my Argyle shirt in Plymouth today, stopped at Morrisons in Liskeard (to buy some lager, onion rings and kippers...) and a bloke who supports QPR told me that they're definitely going for Zinedane Zidane. So it must be true...

So it must be true... Ooo gotta be true then.  I always go through Liskeard on the train when I go to see my girlfriend in Newquay.. quite a number of QPR in that area I think. |
