Neil Warnock not in running for Queens Park Rangers job

Interim Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock says that he is simply "glad" to be back at the club on a temporary basis, but does not expect to take over full time.

Neil Warnock has effectively ruled himself out of the running to take on the Queens Park Rangers managerial job full time.

The experienced boss was appointed at Loftus Road on an interim basis last week following the departure of Chris Ramsey.

QPR are still searching for a new manager, with ex-Leicester City chief Nigel Pearson considered to be the favourite to take over, though Warnock does not expect a decision to be made anytime soon.

Speaking to talkSPORT, the 62-year-old said: "I don't think I have to put [my CV] in. I was just glad to be asked to come back to the club for a couple of days to help the club move forward, and I think I can do that. Just having me here has made it easier for them, they don't have to rush into anything and they have time to decide who the best man is for the job.

"Tony Fernandes comes over here in December for a month, so if it's not done by then I think they'll decide during that time while he's here. They'll look at all the candidates and I'm sure they'll find someone who will take the club on. They're all gone out to Malaysia this week, Les Ferdinand and chief executive Lee Hughes, and so they're obviously going to be discussing it there.

"There are some good applicants, there are some good names around. There are about five of six managers mentioned - Paul Lambert and Nigel Pearson - in the papers, and quite rightly so, they're all good candidates. It's a decent squad at QPR and it only needs a few tweaks to it. For a manager it's a fantastic place to be - a great club, a lovely club, with good old fashioned fans. It's a great atmosphere for a manager."

QPR reportedly face strong competition from West London rivals Fulham to land the signature of Pearson, who has been out of work since being sacked by Leicester in the summer.
