Former Liverpool left-back Gregory Vignal has been linked with the QPR manager’s job.
French publication L’Equipe have suggested that Vignal is in the frame to replace Marti Cifuentes at Loftus Road.
Cifuentes’ Rangers side are bottom of the Championship table, having managed just one win this season.
Vignal managed French third-tier side Versailles but left after just 10 matches at the helm.
Cifuentes, however, has told West London Sport he is confident his job is safe.
“I receive a lot of confidence from the club and I work as always,” he said when asked about his position.
Cifuentes has been without a several key players, with the likes of Ilias Chair and Jake Clarke-Salter among those currently sidelined.
“I’ve not been saying much about it (the injury problems) but we are approaching the international break and the main priority now is to recover players,” Cifuentes said.
“We’ve got nine players out. Nine. With a squad like ours, it’s very difficult, especially when many of those players are very important.
“Is it an excuse? No. We need to do better, compete better and get more from games.
“The players are showing that they really want to try and really want to turn the situation around. It’s in our hands to turn the situation around.
“The important thing is that we’re now going to get some time to recover some players and that’s for me the main target.”
