Next QPR Manager Odds

Mark Warburton is set to leave Queen’s Park Rangers at the end of the current season upon the expiry of his contract at Loftus Road.

The 59-year-old’s side have missed out on the play-offs by a fair amount of points having spent the majority of the season inside the Championship’s top six this season, hence why the decision has been made not to renew his contract.

Warburton will have managed QPR 150 times by the end of the season and currently has a win percentage of 37% since taking over from Steve McLaren in May 2019.

MK Dons manager Liam Manning is the bookmakers’ favourite to get the job at Loftus Road following an impressive start to life in management.

The Dons missed out on automatic promotion by just one point in Manning’s first season in charge but will have the opportunity to fight for promotion via the play-offs. During his first season at Stadium MK, Manning won EFL League One Manager of the Month in both September and January.

Prior to his role at MK, Manning had been West Ham’s Under 23s head coach between 2015 and 2019 before joining City Football Group, where he would take up coaching roles at New York City FC, which then lead to him being transferred over to Belgian second-tier side Lommel SK as head coach between 2020 and 2021 - Manning would lead them from bottom of the table to a third-place finish in his only season at the club.

Newport County manager James Rowberry is also firmly in contention for the vacancy at Loftus Road.

The 37-year-old has impressed as manager of the Exiles despite seeing them sit just outside of the League Two play-off places, having won 14 of his 33 matches in charge since taking over from legendary club figure, Mike Flynn.

Prior to this, Rowberry had worked at Cardiff City since 2013 following four years at Newport as a first-team and development team coach. Rowberry also has a UEFA pro license and spent seven years with the Welsh FA as a Coach Educator and became a first-team coach at the Cardiff City Stadium in November 2019, having previously been the Bluebirds' assistant coach in July 2016.

With a wide range of experiences, this could be the ideal opportunity for Rowberry to further progress his already impressive career.

Rowberry is priced at 10/3 to become QPR’s next manager.

Current QPR and Republic of Ireland assistant manager John Eustace is priced at 7/2 to step up to the role of being the R’s permanent manager.

The 42-year-old joined the Loftus Road club back in 2018 as assistant manager following an impressive managerial spell at Kidderminster Harriers between 2016 and 2018, where he won 55 of his 103 games as a manager.

Eustace has retained his role as assistant manager since initially joining the club, although, he did have a seven-game spell as a caretaker manager between April and May of 2019, winning twice and drawing once across these fixtures.

Eustace is priced at 7/2 to become QPR’s next manager after Warburton.

Former QPR midfielder Gareth Ainsworth is also under consideration for the managerial vacancy at QPR, having done a superb job at Wycombe Wanderers.

Ainsworth made 141 league appearances for QPR between 2003 and 2010, as well as having two spells as a caretaker manager in 2008 and 2009.

Ainsworth has only ever had one full-time managerial role in football, having taken charge of Wycombe in September 2012, managing the Chairboys 510 times, earning promotion from League Two back in the 2017/18 season, as well as winning the League One play-offs in 2019/20.

Wycombe will be partaking in League One’s play-offs this season, having sneaked in on the final day of the season at the expense of Plymouth Argyle, giving Ainsworth a second opportunity to see his men play in the Championship for the second time in their history.

The 48-year-old who won LMA League Two Manager of the Year in the 2014/15 season is priced at 6/1 for a return to QPR.

The final manager on this list is Oxford United boss Karl Robinson, whose side failed to make the League One play-offs despite spending the vast majority of the season inside the top six.

Robinson is perhaps best known for his six-year spell as MK Dons manager between 2010 and 2016 where he earned them promotion to the Championship back in the 2014/15 season via a second-place finish.

Following his time at MK, the 41-year-old Liverpudlian took charge of Charlton Athletic between November 2016 and March 2018, but, departed from The Valley by mutual consent after winning just 27 of his 74 matches in charge.

Robinson has been in charge of Oxford since March 2018, managing The U’s 232 times, winning 98 of these matches.

QPR are priced at 6/1 to appoint Robinson as their next manager.
