Hart leaves QPR

Paul Hart has left QPR after just five games in charge. Following defeat at home to Sheffield United in the FA Cup on Tuesday night, Hart became the ninth managerial casualty at QPR since Italian Flavio Briatore took over as chairman in August 2007.

A statement form the club said: "The club can confirm that manager Paul Hart has decided to leave QPR with immediate effect. Assistant manager Mick Harford will be taking charge of first-team affairs, starting with this weekend's Championship fixture at Blackpool."

Strangely, three of Hart's games in charge at Rangers were against Sheffield United: one-all draw in the Championship and FA Cup and Tuesday's cup defeat. Hart was booed on Tuesday as Rangers fell 3-0 behind, when he brought off midfielder Alejandro Faurlin, to replace him with Adel Taarabt.

Under Briatore, managers John Gregory, Luigi De Canio, Iain Dowie, Paulo Sousa, Magilton and Hart have departed while Harford, Gareth Ainsworth (twice) and youth coaches Steve Gallen and Marc Bircham have had spells in caretaker charge.

Hart was sacked from Portsmouth earlier in the season.
