Next QPR Manager Odds: After Martí Cifuentes

He claims to be retired, but could Warnock resist the chance to take another 'one last job'?

Warnock is one of the most popular managers in modern QPR history, having led the team to the Championship title in his previous spell in charge of the South London club.

Now well into his 70s, whether Warnock has the desire to return to full-time football management after taking a part-time advisory role at Torquay United is another question.

Derry helped QPR to win the Championship title as a player during the Warnock era and he remained a firm fixture in their midfield during the Premier League campaigns that followed.

Since hanging up his boots, Derry had the manager's job at Notts County and Cambridge United, before taking jobs in a coaching capacity at Oxford United, Crystal Palace and Wolves.

Derry left Wolves when Gary O'Neil was sacked as manager and he remains out of work, so now could be the ideal time for him to resume applying for jobs as the main man in the dugout.

Highly-rated young coach Barry has landed a plum job in the England set up under Thomas Tuchel, but he is starting to be mentioned as a contender for manager roles in the EFL.

Barry has worked at clubs including Chelsea but has carved out a niche within international football, having previously worked for Roberto Martinez when he led Belgium and Portugal.

Seen as an innovative thinker with a unique perspective on the game, Barry could be a fine choice for QPR but his appointment would certainly be seen by some fans as a big risk.

Poor decisions have marred Beale's career in recent times, with the move from QPR to Scottish giants Rangers in 2022 putting him on the wrong path.

A terrible short spell at Sunderland all-but ruined Beale's reputation, having been thought of as one of the game's most exciting young coaches, but a return to QPR may help him bounce back.

Previously included in the QPR next manager betting odds, Challinor's work at Stockport County continues to earn him links to higher-profile jobs.

Known for his gigantic long throw as a player with Tranmere Rovers, Challinor's first coaching job was as player-manager at Northern Premier League Premier Division club Colwyn Bay, where he had previously been a very successful captain.

Promotion and glory in the North Wales Coast Cup earned Challinor a move to AFC Fylde, where he had eight good years. Challinor has been a big success at Stockport and is now surely ready for a step up.
