CSKA Moscow boss Zico is a shock target for managerless QPR.

The News of the World says R's co-owner Bernie Ecclestone is planning talks with the South American superstar although former Ipswich boss Jim Magilton remains favourite for the post.

He has been in negotiations for the past few weeks - but he is also attracting the attention of Aberdeen. Rangers are stalling on an appointment until they have spoken to CSKA Moscow boss Zico, who as a player was likened to Pele and fired 52 goals in 72 games for Brazil.
