QPR to appoint former Champions League manager, 44, who launched Real Madrid star's career after Marti Cifuentes axe
QPR are set to name former Rennes and Strasbourg boss Julien Stephan as the club's new head coach. Rangers placed Marti Cifuentes on gardening leave in April after Sunsport revealed he was close to quitting the club following a breakdown in his relationship with 27-year-old chief executive Christian Nourry. 2 2 The decision to stand down Cifuentes came after the Spaniard's representatives made contact with West Brom following Tony Mowbray's sacking last month. West Brom have since appointed Ryan Mason as their new boss. But with no chance of a thawing in relations between Nourry and Cifuentes, Rangers turned their attention to Stephan. The 44-year-old has been keen to work in England since being sacked by Ligue 1 side Rennes last November. Stephan guided Rennes to the knock-out stages of the Europa League for the first time in 2018 where they lost 4-3 to Arsenal. A year later he led the club to victory over PSG in the French Cup final. The Frenchman also spent two seasons with Strasbourg before returning to his former club in 2023. Stephan brought a host of big-name stars through the ranks at Rennes. He was responsible for launching the career of Real Madrid star Eduardo Camavinga, and worked with Barcelona playmaker Raphinha. And he also worked with Serhu Guirassy, Jeremy Doku and Ismaila Sarr. Stephan has agreed terms on a two-year deal with the Championship club. QPR have been out of the top flight since relegation from the Premier League in 2015. They are preparing for their 11th-straight season in the Championship, with just two top-half finishes in that time. Last season they finished 15th, six points clear of the relegation zone but ten behind the playoff places in what was ultimately a disappointing campaign.

'A bizarre appointment'
Hull City have given Sergej Jakirovic an opportunity for his first taste of English football after sacking previous head coach Ruben Selles - but some of you aren't so pleased for what you had to say about the appointment:Rob: Yet another bizarre appointment by the chairman. No experience of English football and in particular the Championship, which is such a difficult league. I hope I'm wrong but this just smacks of the previous two appointments whereby the chairman had to sack them and bring someone else in. I'm not holding my breath I don't get it! Firstly the decision to part with Rosenior after a seventh-placed finish, then to jettison Selles after keeping them up! What does the owner want? Why not go for someone with a proven track record in the Championship?Joe: As Hull fan that's watched us every week, week in week out, we need to actually concentrate on the squad and the quality we bring in. We need players who want to play for the club and give it their all, and realise we are a Championship team and the style of football has to be to win as many games as possible and realise we aren't gonna hammer people 5-0 every week - we have to win the close games. Hopefully he will be given the tools he needs to build a strong I cannot believe we are doing this again. It's the exact same as last season. Sack a promising, well-respected coach with good results in the English game for a complete nobody with no experience in English football. We were lucky to attract Selles last season and just about stay up. Who are we going to find at Christmas after this new guy is gone and we're bottom of the table again?Mark: He is on his eighth managerial job in eight years, and out of the previous seven only two lasted more than one season, not exactly a ringing We should have got a reliable manager who knows the league. The owner has unrealistic expectations as has proven over and again. Good luck to the new manager, he will need He doesn't know the league and he has a poor team to manage. Unless he can make lots of changes it will be a difficult season. And we don't know him at all so he won't be given long before we get At the moment, most City fans see Ilicali as being foolish for two bad appointments (Arveladze and Walters) and two awful sacking decisions (Rosenior and Selles). But that can all still be forgotten about if this unknown guy is a success. I'm pretty dubious but will give him a Yet again, another manager without Championship experience. Now it's time for another episode of 'dart in a map' recruitment which tends to be the policy of choice for the owner. Get it wrong again and we will be in trouble in the league and financially.

Rasmus Hojlund 'shaking in his pants' as Man Utd striker dealt fresh blow
Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has found things tough at club and international level over the last 12 months and he has been handed a painful wake-up call As if his dismal Manchester United season wasn't bad enough, Rasmus Hojlund has seen his stock fall at international level. The Danish international has eight goals for his country, but only one of those has arrived since the end of 2023, and there's now a feeling he's no longer an automatic starter. Hojlund scored just five Premier League goals at club level last season, though his Europa League exploits allowed him to reach double figures in all competitions. He started the first game in Denmark's friendly double-header, drawing a blank against Northern Ireland, and dropped to the bench for the meeting with Lithuania on Tuesday. One man who has found goals much easier to come by at club level is compatriot Mika Biereth. The former Arsenal youngster hit the ground running for Monaco after joining in January, and made his senior international bow against Portugal in March. It was Biereth, not Hojlund, who partnered Kasper Dolberg up front in the Lithuania friendly. The 22-year-old wasted little time finding the net for the first time at senior international level, scoring the first of five Danish goals, and came in for praise post-match as compatriot Hojlund got a reminder of the challenge ahead. "Rasmus Hojlund must be shaking his pants by now. He has been overtaken," Danish outlet Bold's player ratings read, describing Bieret as "constantly poisonous near the goal" after he also drew the last-man foul which saw Lithuania's Edgaras Utkus sent off before half-time. Hojlund has been linked with a summer move away from Old Trafford, with reports of interest from Serie A. Champions League finalists Inter Milan are among those linked, but the striker has showed no signs he's looking to move on. "No. As I've told you before, I try to stay away from all that, because it's both for better and for worse these days," he told Ekstra Bladet during the June international break. "I know I can't get much out of reading things. I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030. I expect to play there, so I'm just getting ready for some summer vacation and then hopefully a good preseason." Back in February, Denmark coach Brian Riemer also talked up Hojlund's club colleague Chido Obi. The teenage striker made his senior United debut under Ruben Amorim in February, but was with Denmark's Under-20s rather than their senior squad during the most recent break. "Try to think about how many times we have sat with a Danish national team and said: 'We are missing players, when will some strikers come?'," Riemer told Viaplay (via Tipsbladet). "We have so many young players, some of them may be just young enough to break through, but how great is it that we have so many knocking on the door – I think that is important to say." However, he also suggested Obi was some way away from a senior interntional bow, adding: "The senior national team requires one more step – you need to come in and play more regularly before the senior national team is an option for you. It's hard to get there if you don't play regularly for your club team." Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.
