However, Houston did not wait for Wenger's arrival, resigning his Arsenal post in mid-September to take over as manager of Queens Park Rangers , with Rioch becoming his assistant. QPR, who had just been relegated to Division One , were aiming for a return to the Premiership , but Houston's spell at the club was not a success; he was sacked as manager in December 1997 with the club in the relegation zone. Houston was later reunited with George Graham when the latter became manager of Tottenham Hotspur in 1998 , but left the club after Graham was sacked in March 2001 .
