QPR chairman Tony Fernandes believes he has got his "dream manager" to replace Harry Redknapp, who resigned last week.
The 50-year-old businessman said no announcement was imminent and it would "take a while" to complete the deal.
Tim Sherwood was contacted about the job, while Derby manager Steve McClaren and Real Madrid assistant Paul Clement were also in the frame - links apparently dismissed by Fernandes.
"Still a bit to go but I'm very happy," the Malaysian wrote on Twitter.
"Think I have got my dream manager. Not what anyone thinks. Press all wrong."
Redknapp, 67, stepped aside on 3 February, saying imminent knee replacement surgery was going to stop him giving 100% to the job.
Director of football Les Ferdinand and academy coach Chris Ramsey have taken temporary charge of the side, who are 19th in the Premier League table.
QPR, who travel to Sunderland on Tuesday (kick-off 19:45 GMT), are two points from safety and have lost all 11 league games away from home this season.
