After QPR defeated Leeds 4-0 to secure their Championship survival, Marti Cifuentes stated he never had any doubts about his ability to lead his team to a “great escape.”
Rangers scored goals on a thrilling evening at Loftus Road through Ilias Chair, Lucas Andersen, Lyndon Dykes, and Sam Field. The team has remained up with a game remaining.
“Target achieved,” exclaimed a jubilant Cifuentes. That was the primary concern. And secondly, what a wonderful evening that was, a wonderful way to finish the circle.
“It’s definitely a special night, at home with our supporters. Tonight is going to be a long night (celebrating) for a lot of people.”
Rangers were second bottom of the table, six points from safety and had lost six matches in a row when the Spaniard took over as boss at the end of October following the sacking of Gareth Ainsworth.
But Cifuentes said: “I was very sure that we could make the great escape.
“I believed that those players had more in them and I think they showed it, not only tonight but through some difficult moments.
“We achieved it but also achieved it in a certain way, which is important. It was about hard work and being honest. Now it’s time to keep on pushing.”
