Chris Ramsey has been appointed technical director at QPR.
Ramsey spent nine months as the club's head coach until losing that job in November and had previously worked as academy manager.
His new role includes responsibilities for coaching within the academy and for developing Rangers' scouting strategy.
Director of football Les Ferdinand said: "Whilst we were disappointed things didn't work out with Chris at first team level earlier in the season, we were determined to retain his services at QPR.
"As such, we actually put a clause in his contract which allowed us to retain Chris's services in a player-development role should things not work out for him as head coach.
"Chris knows academy football inside-out and having put the building blocks in place for a lot of the good restructuring work that's been done here over the past 11 months, he can come in and make an instant impact in an environment he has helped build."
