Queens Park Rangers have announced that Ruben Gnanalingam has become the club's new co-chairman.
The Malaysian businessman will work alongside Tony Fernandes at Loftus Road, in conjunction with the senior management team made up of chief executive Lee Hoos and director of football Les Ferdinand.
Gnanalingham believes that his appointment will allow the Championship club to be run more efficiently.
"I have come on board in a more hands-on role to provide Tony with support across various areas of the club. Working as co-chairmen allows us to commit more time to QPR both individually and as a collective unit, making decisions together, whilst focusing on our specific duties," he told the club's official website.
"We are fully aware of the rebuilding task that is required at the club. It will take time, but – as a group of shareholders – we remain 100% committed to QPR.
"I am excited and confident about how this relationship will work, as we look to get the club back on a sound footing. I am eager to just get down to work. The time for talking will come later."
QPR were relegated from the Premier League last season.
