Aston Villa assistant manager Michael Beale has been offered the QPR manager's job.

The 41-year old Aston Villa coach is ready to leave Steven Gerrard's backroom staff and step out as a manager in his own right, says the Daily Mail.

Beale has earned a glowing reputation in the game following his work at Liverpool, Chelsea, Sao Paulo and Rangers.

He also had interest from other Championship sides including Blackburn Rovers.

QPR have been looking for a young bright coach after deciding to part ways with Mark Warburton at the end of last season.
