Stéphan looks set to take over at QPR

Julien Stéphan looks set to take over as QPR head coach.

Talks have taken place with the 44-year-old Frenchman and an agreement in principle now appears to be in place for him to take the job.

Rangers have been looking for a successor to Marti Cifuentes, who was axed in April and has since been on gardening leave.

Stéphan has had two spells in charge of his hometown club Rennes and in 2019 led them to the French Cup – the club’s first trophy in 48 years.

After an 18-month stint at Strasbourg, who sacked him in 2023, he returned to Rennes, but left last November after a bad run of results.

    I have no idea why, in view of the multiple comments on which personnel Julien Stéphan will be bringing in as assistants, no club verification had been announced of the head coach. With the pre season games so near – why the lack of confirmation and what of the outcome of other senior player contracts?

    Why the delay in making this announcement, especially after Thorup reportedly turned down our offer and Marti is marooned? Looks more and more like the work of Nourry. Please let the fans in on what’s going on. We are 8 weeks out from the beginning of the season, and 2-3 weeks out from pre-season.

    The club should eat humble pie and bring back Marty. He was a breath of fresh air and a good coach.

    This guy has a really impressive points per game record and has had some remarkable achievements with lower ranked teams in France

    Another swarthy continental with a patchy mediocre record who will have fans eating out of his hand as he guides us to 17th

    QPR fans must get behind him, just as they did with Cifuentes, for whom they chanted their support through thick and thin (and plenty of the latter!). Good luck Julien!
