Paul Ince and Iain Dowie are the frontrunners for the QPR job after Luigi De Canio left Loftus Road by "mutual consent" yesterday.
Dowie, 43, has already been contacted by his former club and is immediately available after leaving Coventry in February.

The club said in a statement that a successor would be named "in due course. Telegraph
