FORMER MANCHESTER CITY, Blackburn and Fulham manager Mark Hughes has arrived at Loftus Road for discussions regarding Queens Park Rangers’ managerial vacancy.
The newly-promoted team has endured a turbulent run of late, garnering a mere two points in its last six Premier League outings. A disappointing 2-2 draw with League One outfit MK Dons on Saturday prompted the dismissal of Neil Warnock.
According to the Press Association, the London club’s multi-millionaire owner, Tony Fernandes, has taken an active interest in securing a replacement.
“It is understood the club’s owner, Tony Fernandes, will lead the talks personally, despite announcing earlier today he was due to fly out to China for a vital business meeting regarding his AirAsia airline.”
Hughes, who emerged as the front-runner soon after the announcement of Warnock’s departure, has been out of work since his controversial resignation from Fulham last season.
