Queens Park Rangers back Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink after investigation

QPR have announced that manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has the full support of the board following the completion of an investigation prompted by allegations made in the Daily Telegraph.

Hasselbaink was filmed by undercover reporters, with the newspaper alleging the Dutchman had requested £55,000 to work for a fake Far Eastern firm seeking to sell players to the club.

Former Chelsea and Leeds striker Hasselbaink denied any wrongdoing but said he had been "naive."

And Championship club Rangers -- who said they had not been provided with information requested from the Telegraph -- have now backed Hasselbaink.

A statement on QPR's official website said: "Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink openly admitted he was naive and, as such, has been reminded of his roles and responsibilities as manager of Queens Park Rangers Football Club.

"He remains fully focused on his job as QPR manager, and he does so with the board's unanimous support.
