QPR next manager odds: James Rowberry and John Eustace lead the race, Sherwood, Hughton and Dyche also in running

QPR are on the hunt for a new manager to take over for the start of next season after it was announced that Mark Warburton would be leaving the club upon the expiration of his contract in June.

Sky Bet place the current Newport boss James Rowberry as the current favourite at 10/3, with John Eustace, the current assistant manager just behind on 7/2.

QPR had a strong start to the season, and were in the play-off positions as recently as mid-March, before a run of seven defeats in nine games has left them down in 12th going into Saturday's final game against Swansea.

Welsh manager Rowberry, currently in charge of Newport in League Two, is the current favourite to take over at Loftus Road.

Rowberry spent seven years in the first team coaching staff with Cardiff, under the likes of Neil Warnock and Mick McCarthy among others, so has a strong knowledge of coaching in the Championship and even the Premier League.

Current QPR assistant boss, and Republic of Ireland assistant boss John Eustace is also close by in the running to take over as manager of the west London side.

The former Watford and Derby player has been assistant manager for QPR since 2018, and even had a spell as caretaker manger over the end of the 2018-19 season.

36-year-old MK Dons manager Liam Manning is also close in the running, with Sky Bet pricing him at 4/1 to take over. Manning has led the Dons to a third place finish in League One this season, and will be hoping for a successful campaign, starting with a semi-final against Wycombe.

The likes of Tim Sherwood, Chris Hughton, and the newly unemployed Sean Dyche are all linked with the job.

Sherwood, the former Tottenham and Aston Villa manager, has been without a job in football since leaving his role as Director of Football at Swindon in 2017.

Hughton is priced at 8/1 to take over at QPR, having achieved promotion from the Championship twice already in his managerial career, having won the league with Newcastle in 2010 a well as taking Brighton up in 2017.

Dyche, having lost his job as Burnley manager less than three weeks ago, is also in the running. He managed to achieve promotion with the Clarets in 2016 and even ended up bringing European football to Turf Moor a couple of years later.

Warburton will have spent three seasons at the Kiyan Prince Foundation stadium once his contract is up after this weekend's game.

QPR finished the previous season down in 19th place, and Warburton managed to secure 13th in his first season and 9th in his second.

Rangers had spent the majority of this season in and around the play-off positions, before a run of 11 defeats in 16 games since mid February has seen them drop out of contention.
