QPR will appoint their new manager soon and if most reports are to be believed then Tim Sherwood will be the man leading their fight against relegation.

It does make sense. The ex-Spurs man is keen to get back into management and has a point to prove after his time at White Hart Lane.

Les Ferdinand - QPR's newly-appointed Director of Football - worked with him at Tottenham as well.

But QPR are keen to speak to other contenders too. One of those is rumoured to be Paul Clement. If you don't know the name, you will soon.

The former PE teacher from Sutton is a Champions League winner as assistant coach at Real Madrid.

He's worked with Beckham and Bale in a career that's taken him from South London to Spain via Chelsea, Blackburn and Paris St Germain.

And his profile is growing almost as quickly as Real's trophy cabinet.There's no indication he's in a rush to leave Carlo Ancelotti's side at Real Madrid.

But if QPR don't go for him it seems just a matter of time until he's managing in the Premier League elsewhere.
