QPR head coach Marti Cifuentes has signed a new long-term contract with the Championship club.
The Spaniard was appointed in October 2023 with the Loftus Road club in relegation trouble but they went on to finish 18th.
The length of the new deals for the 42-year-old and his assistant Xavi Calm have not been disclosed.
"We're very happy," said Cifuentes. "We're enjoying the process and we remain aware of the club's potential.
"Since we've been here, the supporters have been incredible. They have been very supportive - as has [chief executive] Christian [Nourry]. All in all, this was a very clear decision for us.
"From day one, it has felt like the right place for us but we are aware that there is still a lot of work to do."
The club has also announced that 21-year-old forward Kader Dembele's loan from Brest would become permanent next summer and centre-half Jake Clarke-Salter, 27, has agreed a new long-term deal with the west London club.
