QPR boss Holloway rules out Jackett return

Ian Holloway is keen to add to his QPR coaching staff but has all but ruled out a return for Kenny Jackett.

Jackett, assistant boss during much of Holloway’s first spell as Rangers manager, has resigned after just 39 days in charge at Rotherham.[phone][/phone]

But Holloway does not expect to be reunited with him at Loftus Road.

“I think he’s a manager now. He needs to be a manager and I think Kenny would tell you that himself,” Holloway said.

“He was a brilliant assistant manager but always had aspirations to be a manager and was always going to do that and always going to be a good one.”

Former QPR midfielder Marc Bircham rejoined the club as first-team coach following Holloway’s recent return as manager.

Holloway is now looking to add someone else in a similar role.

“I’m still overseeing and still thinking what I might do,” he said.

“I’ve got so much energy I’m happy to keep going myself, but deep down I know I probably need someone.

“But the analytics side is so good I can do less out there (the training ground) and more in the classroom. It takes a lot of pressure off me.”
