QPR want Marcello Lippi to lead them in next season's Premier League campaign.
The Daily Star Sunday says though Neil Warnock has been an outstanding success at Loftus Road, his "reward" for winning promotion could be the sack.
That's the incredible situation developing at QPR, as the club are eyeing top managers in Italy - including Lippi, 63.
The Hoops have had the former Juventus and Inter Milan boss as a target in the past and see him as the man to take the club forward in the Premier League.
Lippi has a superb CV, including five Serie A titles and a Champions League triumph with Juventus.
QPR already have strong links to Italy, including chairman Gianni Paladini.
And Lippi's son and agent, Davide, insisted last week that his father is close to returning to management.
