Queen’s Park announce new head coach

Queen’s Park has confirmed Robin Veldman as the club’s new head coach.

The Dutchman, who recently left his role as assistant manager of Belgian side Anderlecht, replaces Owen Coyle who departed in May following the team’s cinch Premiership Play-Off defeat to Partick Thistle.

Veldman told the club’s website: “From the first moment I contacted the club I got a warm feeling. Both Queen’s Park and I are hungry to perform well.

“Last season the club was close to promotion, but our goal is to achieve success with attractive, dominant football. That’s what we’re going for. The vision to field young players, in an attractive playing style, appeals to me enormously.”
