Ex-chairman departs Loftus Road and could join a Championship club
Queens Park Rangers have announced former chairman Gianni Paladini has left his advisory role at the club by mutual consent.
He initially arrived at Loftus Road in 2003 as part of a consortium of investors, before being appointed chairman two years later.
Paladini stepped down from the position following Tony Fernandes' takeover in August and moved to an advisory role, which he has also now left.
He told the club's
official website: "QPR will always be very close to my heart and I am extremely proud to see the team playing in the Premier League.
"I wish the club, players, staff and fans all the very best for the future."
Key
QPR CEO, Philip Beard, said: "On behalf of everyone at the club, I would like to thank Gianni for his contribution to Queens Park Rangers over the years.
"He has gone beyond the call of duty in his time here and in more recent times, played an integral role in our return to the Premier League, as well as assisting the football management team with the acquisition of some key players.
"He will always be welcome back here to support the team and we wish him every success for the future."
Paladini will now consider his next venture and he has confirmed he could become involved with a Championship club.
"There is a very good chance - a very, very good chance," he told
Sky Sports News later on Wednesday night when questioned on the subject.
