There might be nothing in this but,after turning down the chance to take over as Peru manager,Rafa Benitez is stalling over signing a new contract at Napoli.His current contract expires at the end of the season,and his agent has come out and said "He will be at a different club next season".A long shot maybe,but one to possibly keep an eye on!

Are we naming our new man maybe quicker than anticipated,because Tony's afraid Villa might try and pinch him?All very intriguing,couldn't possibly be Hoddle could it?Maybe he had to get out of his media obligations.Enough now,too much to contemplate at this time of night.
 
We don't need to spend big, we already have a stand-in manager who has gained instant results, instant player improvement, liked by all the club ......... knows the club well and has managed to correct a sinking ship.

He gets my vote ................. let's give him the rest of the season and see how good a fit he is, and visa versa.

I'm trying to figure out who the new man would be, and i keep on coming back to the same name 'Klinnsmann' as some on here suggested earlier.
Think his contract expires with USA in the summer. He fits that 'Dream Manager' tag..doesn't he ??
 
I notice that all the names in the press (with the exception of the unattached Sherwood) were first mentioned on here or on other QPR message boards. They then appear in the betting along with all the usual out of work suspects.

If somebody says "What about Arnar Grétarsson from Breiðablik in Iceland?" within a couple of days his name will appear in the Sun or the Star under the tag "Surprise candidate for QPR job" and a couple of days later he will be 18/1 in the betting.

My money is on Jamie Redknapp.

Coaching career
Tuchel began his coaching career in 2000 as head coach of the Under 19 of VfB Stuttgart. After five years he returned to his former club FC Augsburg, where he worked as youth team co-ordinator for three years.[1] He was named as the new head coach of 1. FSV Mainz 05 on 3 August 2009, after the club was promoted to the Bundesliga.[2] He signed a two-year contract after being promoted to that position from the 1. FSV Mainz 05 Under 19 side.[2] In the 2010–11 season, Tuchel coached Mainz to seven wins in their first seven games, including an away victory over Bayern Munich. The team finished fifth in the rankings. Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen both made approaches for Tuchel in the latter–half of the 2013–14 season.[3] Tuchel led Mainz to a 2014–15 UEFA Europa League spot during the 2013–14 season[4] after finishing the season in seventh place.[5] Tuchel asked to be released from his contract prematurely.[6] Tuchel left the position of head coach on 11 May 2014.[3] However, Mainz refused to release him from his contract.



Taken from an article:

Tuchel's appointment in August 2009 came around in unusual circumstances. Heidel decided to sack coach Jörn Andersen who had guided the club back to the Bundesliga after a small spell in the second division.

It was quite ground-breaking from FSV: the successor in Tuchel had no Bundesliga playing experience, no coaching experience and was only employed by the club for 12 months.

In an exclusive talk to an elite audience of sports experts and professors back in 2012, he explained his early management philosophy and how he prepared his squad for each Bundesliga game.

Just days after a German Cup exit back then, Tuchel revealed he felt it was the "ideal" time to take over Mainz as a less experienced coach. He decided to take the players on a training camp outside of Mainz to escape the media and supporter pressure. This gave Tuchel the prime opportunity to understand his players better.

One problem Tuchel identified was the lack of team-ethic among the squad. Players would arrive at differing times for meals and lack the "respect" of waiting until others had finished. He sought to change this without appearing a control-freak and ruining his new relationship with the squad.

"I hadn't even started on my main course yet, when half the team had already finished their meal and left," Tuchel explained. This was the main reason for the change in coach, according to the Mainz trainer. As he inherited a squad with little team camaraderie, Tuchel gradually implemented some rules over the team's meal-time to encourage that players wouldn't leave the meal table until after 20 minutes.

Gradually, these "manners" became a natural thing among the Mainz squad and this is something Tuchel stresses in his pre-meal talks.

Cutting-Edge Football

Although Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have advanced the ‘counter-pressing' strategy in recent years, Tuchel believed Mainz were "ground-breaking" in their first season back in the Bundesliga.

Tuchel's tactical-flexibility has been, perhaps, most prominent against Bayern Munich. Mainz have won three of the last nine games against the Bavarians when Tuchel has been in charge, but have lost their last three against the invincible Bayern of the past two seasons.

Mainz defeated Bayern 2-1 in Tuchel's first encounter with the record holding German champions using a 4-1-4-1 formation to counter Louis van Gaal's 4-3-3 system. Meanwhile, He also masterminded a 3-2 win over Bayern the following season with a 4-3-2-1 structure.

Even then Bayern boss Heynckes said Tuchel was "destined" to train the record-winning German champions one day.

Norway, you've convinced me that Tuchel is indeed the man we need. Realistically, do you think it is possible?

Looks like he's taking over after Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund. 4 year deal worth 20 million Euro's apparantly.

Guess he was just waiting for a big big club to knock. Don't think we ever had a realistic chance.
