Coaching staff

From Mail Online

Mark Hughes' trusted aides Mark Bowen and Eddie Niedzwiecki are poised to follow the axed manager out of Queens Park Rangers.

The coaching duo have not made the trip to the Stadium of Light for Harry Redknapp’s first match as new Rangers boss against Sunderland.

The QPR hierarchy had explored the notion of keeping either Bowen or Niedzwiecki on the books to be part of Redknapp’s new backroom team.

Axe: Bowen (right) and Hitchcock (centre) took charge at Old Trafford

But it is now looking increasingly likely that the pair will follow Hughes out of the west London club.

Officially, Bowen and Niedzwiecki remain employed by QPR - and still appear on the club’s website.

Bowen is listed as assistant manager while Niedzwiecki appears under the title of first-team coach.

However, the duo’s representatives remain in dialogue with Rangers with regards to severance packages.

Struggling: QPR are rock-bottom of the Premier League

But once those formalities are finalised, Bowen and Niedzwiecki will officially be replaced by Redknapp’s lieutenants Kevin Bond and Joe Jordan.

Likewise, current goalkeeping coach Kevin Hitchcock - another Hughes man - is expected to be replaced by David Coles.

Bond and Jordan have already assisted Redknapp in a training session at QPR’s Harlington HQ and are expected to be at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday night.

Fresh ideas: Redknapp takes charge for the first time on Tuesday night

However, uncertainty remains over other members of Hughes’ backroom team as Redknapp decides whether to keep any of them on.

Fitness coach Carl Serrant, who played for Newcastle and Oldham, came to the club during Neil Warnock’s reign but was kept on by Hughes after impressing the Welshman with his training methods.

Similarly, head physio Nigel Cox, who also arrived under Warnock, is another who could be left in limbo by Redknapp’s arrival.

Bye...............and...............er.............thanks for nothing!

 

Good, they were in charge of the coaching and it was easy to see our attacking set pieces were poor and the defensive ones were abysmal.

Set pieces are the most obvious product of the coaching and it was nowhere near good enough.

 

The Taffia have gone ...Great...

 

They werent there today, Jordan and Bond took the training which is weird if they havent yet signed a contract.

 

Desperate measures for desperate times?!

 

Bond was a half decent centre half, so hopefully he can get us defending properly at set pieces.

 

Totally agree: if there's one thing you can teach on the training pitch, this must surely be it.

 

S.hit just like that welsh twunt was
