“Could not be happier for this man,” Fernandes wrote on Instagram after posting a picture of him and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

“A decent man who works his socks off for QPR. Loyalty is a strange word in football but we are family and we are QPR and we stand by our family.

“Thank you to the amazing fans. You deserve this. Your voice at craven cottage was somehow else. Enjoy the moment. First win at craven since 1979. Enjoy the moment. Lots of love. Tony.”
