Mark Hughes is expected to succeed Neil Warnock as QPR manager.

The Daily Mail says Hughes will be installed as Queens Park Rangers manager this week after Neil Warnock was sacked on Sunday night.

Club supremo Tony Fernandes axed Warnock after agreeing a compensation package with the 63-year-old and his assistants Keith Curle and Mick Jones to end their 22-month stay at Loftus Road.

Owners Fernandes and Amit Bhatia have already reached a deal with Hughes to take over at the Barclays Premier League club, who lie a point above the relegation zone. The former Manchester United striker will be joined by his right-hand men Mark Bowen and Eddie Niedzwiecki.
