Mark Hughes says his priority is to make sure Queens Park Rangers avoid relegation this season after taking over as manager.


Mark Hughes' last job was in charge of Fulham.
The R's have moved fast to replace Neil Warnock, who was given the boot on Sunday night after an awful run of form which had seen the club slip to within a point and a place of the relegation zone.


As soon as Warnock was gone Hughes was made the favourite to take over at Loftus Road.


The Welshmen has now signed a two-and-a-half year contract and his fast task will be to mastermind a victory against Newcastle United on Sunday.

QPR owner Tony Fernandes is expected to give Hughes a huge transfer kitty in a bid to keep the club in the Premier League.


The former Fulham and Manchester City boss will be expected to hit the ground running and will already be looking at potential new signings.


The 48-year-old says he excited about what the future might bring for QPR but for now is focused on making sure they avoid relegation.


"I'm fully aware of the challenge in the short and long term and I am genuinely excited about the ambition of the owners," said Hughes.
"The immediate priority is to consolidate our place in the Premier League. The future is very bright."


QPR are 2.87 to go down this season after failing to pick up a win since a 3-2 victory over Stoke on November 19.
The R's are 5.00 to end their winless streak at Newcastle this weekend, with the Toon 1.72 and the draw 3.60.
