QPR have notified a string of top agents that they are on the hunt for a new manager, according to reports.

The London club's current boss Michael Beale looks set to join Rangers after they sacked Giovanni van Bronckhorst earlier this week.

The Daily Record have now reported that QPR expect Beale to join Rangers and as a result they are now on the lookout for a new manager.

It remains to be seen whether Beale will accept the proposal by the Ibrox outfit, but his current Championship side is making movements to ensure they are well placed if deals are agreed.

Beale was a highly-regarded coach under Gerrard at Ibrox and more recently at Aston Villa before branching out on his own to become QPR boss in June.

Rangers hope to appoint the Englishman in quick time with their return to the Scottish Premiership action against Hibs just three weeks away.

Former Ajax manager Aad de Mos has claimed Rangers were too small a club to participate in the Champions League this year as he backed the sacked Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

The Ibrox club suffered the worst group stage ever in the history of the competition as they lost all six of their matches and posted a goal difference of -20.

The record ultimately was the writing on the wall for Van Bronckhorst who was sacked this week after also suffering in the Scottish Premiership.

The hunt is now on for a new manager, but De Mos has sympathy for his fellow countryman.

He told Soccernews.nl: "You can't entirely blame Van Bronckhorst. Rangers are always compared to Celtic in Scotland. Celtic play better football and have better players.

"Rangers were too small for the Champions League, they would have been better off playing in the Europa League.

"It was a flattering victory over PSV. In football you have no guarantees whether you stay or not, you start at zero."
