Gianfranco Zola has been linked to the managerial post at Queens Park Rangers amid speculation that club could be preparing to sack Harry Redknapp.

The Hoops ended their run of three straight defeats yesterday, but could take only a point against Leeds United at Loftus Road.

The Daily Mail now claims that the former Watford and West Ham United manager is the favourite to take over, should the team make the change.

Chairman Tony Fernandes has described reports that Redknapp could be sacked as "a load of rubbish".
