QPR boss Chris Ramsey says being black will make it more difficult to find work should he leave Loftus Road, reports BBC Sport. The 52 year old is in charge of the Premier League side until the end of the season after stepping up from a coaching role when Harry Redknapp quit.

Ramsey spent seven months out of work after leaving Tottenham in June before joining QPR in October.

He says "any manager of any race" struggles to find work but it is more difficult "as a black man".

"The problems of managers coming straight back into jobs are still going to be there. So it's two separate issues really. I don't think it will be solely based on my ethnicity," Ramsey added.

"Because I am sitting here I am not going to change my view of many years.

"The fact that we are still at this stage of the game, highlighting that I am the only black Premier League manager shows that it is not the norm to have people from ethnic minorities in this position.

"Until this becomes normal, and it is not highlighted in such spectacular fashion, that racism will be evident."
