Former Arsenal assistant Steve Bould is set to join Queens Park Rangers in a role focused on developing young defenders. The position would mark a first in English football for Bould, 62, since he was sacked as Arsenal’s Under-23 coach in May 2021, ending a 30-year association with the club. The former centre-back has been out of management since stepping down as head coach of Lommel SK, the second tier Belgian side owned by City Football Group, in January to return to the United Kingdom.
