QPR boss Marti Cifuentes could quit the club this summer after a breakdown in his relationship with chief executive Christian Nourry.
Spaniard Cifuentes, who joined Rangers from Swedish side Hammerby in November 2023, has grown frustrated with the direction the club is heading under Nourry – who was brought in to oversee the club’s recruitment in January last year.

Cifuentes, who signed a new contract in September, was linked with the Sunderland job last summer.
The Loftus Road manager’s potential availability could interest Norwich and West Brom, who sacked Johannes Hoff Thorup and Tony Mowbray respectively on Easter Monday.
The highly-rated 42-year-old is hugely popular with the QPR fans after keeping the club in the Championship last season.
But he has grown frustrated with the huge number of injuries his squad encountered this season, which ended their flickering play-off hopes and will result in a lower-mid-table finish.
Cifuentes is unhappy at the club’s decision to allow director of performance Ben Williams to oversee the club’s sports science, medical, physio and nutrition departments remotely from Dubai.
QPR chiefs also vetoed a move from 27-year-old Nourry to appoint a set-piece coach earlier this season.
Headline summer arrivals Zan Celar and Nicolas Madsen have struggled since signing for a combined fee of over £5million.
And Cifuentes said after Monday’s 2-1 home defeat by Swansea he wanted assurances the club want to progress to the next level having dropped out of the Premier League ten years ago.

The Spaniard said: “The supporters since I first came here have been amazing.
“But I would like to give them something else and not just celebrate another season in the Championship.”
QPR play already-promoted Burnley at home on Saturday before a trip to play-off bound Sunderland on the final day.
Cifuentes had previously targeted surpassing last season’s points total of 56 and the Rs are one win away from matching that.
