Magilton Leaves QPR - Ipswich Town News
Former boss Jim Magilton has parted company with QPR “by mutual consent” along with his assistant John Gorman. Magilton was suspended last week after allegations that he headbutted midfielder Akos Buzsaky in a dressing room bust-up after their defeat to Watford.
A QPR statement says: "Recent events have been widely reported and whilst Jim Magilton completely denies the allegations, with the full support of John Gorman, it has been agreed that it is in the best interests of the club and Jim Magilton if the parties move on in their separate ways.
"The club would like to wish both Jim Magilton and John Gorman good luck in the future and thank them for their hard work.”
Magilton was sacked by Town in April and joined the West London club in the summer.
QPR have appointed former Portsmouth boss Paul Hart as Magilton's replacement.
