Real Madrid no.2 Clement not after QPR role

Paul Clement has played down claims that he is keen on stepping into the QPR managerial vacancy.

The Real Madrid assistant has been heavily linked with the Loftus Road role following the exit of Harry Redknapp earlier this week but insists he is very happy under Carlo Ancelotti with the current European champions.

"I am very flattered to be linked with QPR, a club I supported as a young boy and for whom my dad played," Clement, whose father Dave played over 500 times for the R's, told The Guardian.

"It would be a real honour to manage that club at some point in the future, but, at this time, I have got no intention of leaving Real Madrid in mid-season."

Clement, who previously worked under Ancelotti at Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, followed the Italian to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2013 and helped guide the Spanish giants to the 2014 UEFA Champions League title.
