Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has suggested that the club's first-team coach Steve McClaren is close to joining Derby County.
Reports have claimed that the ex-England boss is poised to hold talks with the Championship outfit following Nigel Clough's dismissal on Saturday.
According to BBC Radio Derby's Owen Bradley, Redknapp said: "There's a good chance we'll lose him [to Derby]. I'll be sad to see him go, he's been excellent."
The Rams currently sit 14th in the league table on 11 points.
