Former Hoops boss back in the dugout

Gareth Ainsworth working as a commentator

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 in 22nd place and with just eight points from 14 games at the start of last season.

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

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