Former Hoops boss back in the dugout

Former Queens Park Rangers head coach Gareth Ainsworth is back in a job.

Ainsworth was sacked by the Rs last October after a run of nine Championship games without a win left them six points from safety.

The 51-year-old had only been appointed in the February, following 11 years at Wycombe.

Ainsworth won only five of his 28 games in charge and the Rs lost six consecutive matches to finish his reign with in 22nd place and with just eight points from 14 games.

On Wednesday afternoon Ainsworth, who has been working in the media, was named as the new boss of bottom-placed League One side Shrewsbury.

The Shrews were looking to replace Paul Hurst, whose second spell ended last week after just seven months as head coach.
