QPR owner Briatore can see Lippi leading them in top flight

Queens Park Rangers owner Flavio Briatore has revealed his vision for the high-flying Championship club.

The Italian Formula 1 tycoon wants to install the Italy World Cup-winning coach Marcello Lippi as the next manager of QPR if the current league leaders can gain promotion to the Premier League.

"Myself and Bernie Ecclestone have a 70 per cent stake in Queens Park Rangers, and we are top of the league table," Briatore told Italian magazine Chi.

"If we go into the Premier League, I have a dream. That is to have Marcello Lippi as our coach."
