QPR’s head coach, Marti Cifuentes, boldly addressed speculation linking him to the coaching vacancy at Sunderland following his team’s impressive 4-0 victory over Leeds United at Loftus Road.
Having successfully steered QPR away from relegation since taking the reins in October, Cifuentes has earned recognition for his impact on the team’s stability and composure. Given his commendable track record, it’s understandable that his name has surfaced in discussions about Sunderland’s managerial position, currently held on an interim basis by Mike Dodds.
When pressed about his commitment to QPR amidst the swirling rumors, Cifuentes remained focused on the present, stating, “I think if we believe everything we see on social media, it’s going to be a long night. No, I have nothing to say. I’m very focused on tonight’s game and enjoying that.”
With just a three-point gap separating QPR from Sunderland in the Championship standings, the club enters its final match against Coventry City without the specter of relegation looming overhead. Looking ahead, Cifuentes emphasized the importance of humility and continuous improvement, stating, “If you ask me about the future, we will sit, analyze, and be humble.”
Regarding potential summer transfers bolstered by their recent strong showing, Cifuentes acknowledged QPR’s appeal as a club with a rich history, attractive playing style, loyal fan base, and top-notch facilities. However, he remained grounded, asserting, “I will think on the long term from tomorrow.”
