Rangers' Portuguese first team coach Sousa, 38, is set to be demoted after winning just seven matches since succeeding Iain Dowie in November.
And QPR's autocratic co-owner Flavio Briatore has identified Sir Alex Ferguson's son Darren,37, to replace Sousa.
Ferguson junior got Peterborough promoted to League One last term in his first full season in charge.
And QPR are poised to move for the ambitious Scot if promotion hopefuls Posh fail to reach the Championship.
Sousa's days are numbered at Loftus Road and it was Briatore's decision to send striker Dexter Blackstock on loan to Nottingham Forest.
Briatore is also lining up summer transfer targets like Dele Adebola, 33, a free agent at Bristol City. Mirror
