The deal comes at the perfect time, with Warburton heading into the new Championship season with promotion hopes.<\/p>\n<p>The news makes sense, too, with the manger arguably in a better posting than ever to take QPR to new heights. And he\u2019s being rewarded for that. Ever since arriving in 2019, Warburton has been on a rolling yearly contract. The new deal, will see an end to that, however, and hand him necessary job security.<\/p>\n<p>His assistance, John Eustace, who was recently linked with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/07\/22\/john-eustace-swansea-manager\/\" target=\"_self\">Swansea City<\/a> job, has also received a new deal.<\/p>\n<h2>Mark Warburton Signs New QPR Contract<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u270d\ufe0f We&#8217;re delighted to confirm <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarkWarburton9?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@MarkWarburton9<\/a> has signed a new deal.<\/p>\n<p>Well deserved too, gaffer! \ud83d\udc4f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/QPR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#QPR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 QPR FC (@QPR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/QPR\/status\/1423237354437763081?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Impressive Pre-Season<\/h3>\n<p>A lot of people were left incredibly impressed with QPR\u2019s pre-season, with a stunning 4-2 victory over <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/01\/manchester-uniteds-spending\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United<\/a>. And if that wasn\u2019t impressive enough, they then went and held Leicester City to a 3-3 draw in a game they originally found themselves winning.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, they didn\u2019t even lose a game in pre-season despite coming up against two Premier League sides. Now, heading into the game against Millwall on the opening day of the season, they\u2019ll be more confident than ever.<\/p>\n<p>If they get off to a dominant start, then who knows what might happen. In somewhat of a throwback, Charlie Austin is back at Loftus Road and, although he is unlikely to make the same impact as his first stint, the striker\u2019s presence alone is a major boost.<\/p>\n<p>Escaping the depths of the Championship is no easy task, but, for the first time in what feels like forever, QPR look a side to keep an eye on. With Mark Warburton signing a new contract, too, those at the club will feel ready to conquer England\u2019s second tier.<\/p>\n<h3>What Was Said?<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking to the official QPR website, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qpr.co.uk\/news\/club-news\/mark-warburton-agrees-new-qpr-deal-050821\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Warburton said<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cI am delighted to have been given the opportunity to continue the development of the squad and to work with the staff in taking the club forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have improved each season, we are in good shape but now we have to keep building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing into my third season here there is a very evident expectation which is testament to the players for their strong finish to last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat now sets the bar. We have to push on from there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in a very privileged position to work in football and we must work hard to justify the faith of the Board and the supporters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"3cGYnNSATwR7WAuUqF1riA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1234349613\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'3cGYnNSATwR7WAuUqF1riA',sig:'Xo4p6pPQ_NxZaJmLLjBzDlTk995smzoGJG3VlJuBt7M=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1234349613',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Warburton has signed a new contract until at the club.
