Mick Beale: QPR head coach turns down Wolves approach | Football News

Queens Park Rangers head coach Mick Beale has turned down an approach from Wolves about their vacant managerial position.

The Premier League strugglers officially asked the Championship leaders for permission to speak to Beale, 42, a former assistant of Steven Gerard at Rangers and Aston Villa, but he will remain at QPR.

Wolves have considered a number of managers including former Lyon boss Peter Bosz and Nuno Espírito Santo – who was in charge at Molineux between 2017-2021- but had been impressed by Beale’s growing reputation and potential.

Beale admitted it would be a “dream” to manage in the Premier League.

Speaking after QPR’s 3-0 win over Cardiff that took the team to the top of the Championship on Wednesday night, Beale said: “I haven’t spoken to [QPR director of football] Les Ferdinand or anyone so, as far as I’m aware, nothing has changed.

“If an offer comes in officially, you don’t have to take it. You have to weigh up everything. There are a lot of questions you need to get answers to.

“I did come from the Premier League to work here. I do know that level. I’ve worked for some of the biggest clubs so I do know the expectations of those places. I felt over-ready for this job and I feel supremely confident in this job.

“It’s 100 per cent a dream of mine to manage in the Premier League. That’s not a secret. But it has to be the right opportunity, the right moment and the right club, and they would have to give me a really clear understanding of where that club is going.”
