Managerial Reigns

How long a manager stays at QPR can vary from how well they have done to what the Chairman had for breakfast.

The average lifespan of a QPR Managerial reign in history is 2 years, 1 month and 27 days although this century that drops to just 1 year and 25 days per reign.

Alec Stock has the longest reign as a QPR manager, in charge for 8 years, 8 months and 18 days closely followed by Dave Mangnall who was in charge for 8 years and 4 days.

Jack Taylor had a spell of 7 years and 4 days whilst James Cowan managed the team for 6 years, 7 months and 27 days.

In the modern era Ian Holloway has the longest spell (7th overall) with his first spell at the club lasting 4 years, 11 months and 10 days.

Tommy Docherty had the shortest ever spell as QPR manager, lasting just 14 days in 1968, while Paul Hart had the second shortest with a very forgettable 24 days in charge at Loftus Road.
