Queens Park Rangers have accepted the resignation of chief executive Philip Beard, who will leave the club on 15th March after three-and-a-half years at Loftus Road.

Beard, who served as a senior member of London’s successful Olympic and Paralympics bid team prior to joining QPR, told the club’s website: “The role of the CEO has changed in the wake of the recent senior management changes, especially on the football side.

“Whilst the changes have been positive, I felt now was a sensible time to move on to other opportunities.

“QPR is a wonderful club and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the directors and incredible management team and staff.”

Chairman Tony Fernandes, added: “In the short term we will continue to liaise with Phil regarding our long-term projects, ensuring a smooth transitional period prior to making a new appointment.”

Last week QPR, currently 17th place in the Barclays Premier League, appointed coach Chris Ramsey as boss until the end of the season after Harry Redknapp quit to have knee surgery.
