QPR boss Neil Warnock admits owner Tony Fernandes has hopes of Shaun Derry entering coaching.
The veteran midfielder has this morning penned a one-year contract extension to keep him at the club until summer 2013.
"Tony has been so impressed with Shaun since his arrival at the club and this is just a show of faith for what he does for the club," Warnock said.
"He's got a few ideas about going into coaching when he finishes playing and at a club like ours, where the new owners have got so many long-term plans, there will undoubtedly be a role for him.
"He's still got a massive impact to make as a player here first and foremost and that's what I want him to focus on at the moment, but I think he can start having an input off the field too."
