‘Proud and excited’: QPR appoint Julien Stéphan as head coach after Cifuentes exit
Frenchman coached Rennes and Strasbourg in Ligue 1
QPR say he has a record of creating ‘world-class talent’
Queens Park Rangers have appointed the Frenchman Julien Stéphan as their head coach. The 44-year-old’s arrival comes a day after Martí Cifuentes officially left, having been placed on gardening leave after the penultimate game of the Championship season.
Stéphan has worked in Ligue 1 in two spells with his boyhood club Rennes, with whom he won the Coupe de France in 2019, and one with Strasbourg.
