Marti Cifuentes on new contract

Marti Cifuentes has signed a new long-term contract as head coach of Queens Park Rangers (QPR), alongside his assistant Xavi Calm, despite a challenging start to the season with only one win from eight matches. Cifuentes expressed confidence in the team's potential and appreciation for the support from fans and club executives. The club also announced the permanent signing of Karamoko Dembele from Brest and a new deal for key defender Jake Clarke-Salter, who had attracted interest from Premier League clubs. Cifuentes aims to build on the progress made since taking over in October 2023, when QPR was in the relegation zone. The coach emphasized the importance of player belief and the desire to improve every day. QPR currently sits in 17th place in the Championship, aiming to push for better results in the coming weeks.
