According to The Mirror, Queens Park Rangers are interested in landing Steve McClaren as their new manager this summer, replacing Ian Holloway.

QPR endured a disappointing season under Holloway, finishing 16th in the Championship, 15 points clear of relegation but 19 points adrift of the top six.

Spending has been scaled back in recent years, but it was still underwhelming for fans, and Holloway may be at risk of losing his job a year away from his contract expiring.

The Mirror now report that QPR are interested in landing Steve McClaren as their new manager, potentially handing him a return to Loftus Road this summer.

Ian Holloway manager

McClaren, 57, worked as a coach under Harry Redknapp at QPR back in 2013, before having two spells as Derby County boss, one either side of an ill-fated stint with Newcastle United.

The former England boss has most recently been in Israel as a coaching consultant with Maccabi Tel Aviv, but after leaving that post in December, he could make a return to West London as QPR manager.

With Holloway keen to stay, QPR may face a difficult decision this summer, and after some difficult jobs in recent years, it’s difficult to say whether R’s fans would be happy with McClaren’s return.
