Exclusive: Don Goodman reacts to QPR manager news involving Rasmus Bertelsen.

Don Goodman believes QPR may have to take a gamble on Randers FC manager Rasmus Bertelsen to see if he is truly capable of managing at the Championship level.

Bold reported earlier this week that the Hoops are interested in hiring the Danish coach.

The London club is currently without a manager after Martí Cifuentes left at the end of the season.

QPR aims to improve their current 15th place in the table by appointing a suitable candidate.

Don Goodman makes a QPR managerial search claim.

Goodman examined the history of Danish coaches in English football and discovered a mixed record.

He believes there is an inherent risk in a move like this, but the only way to know for certain whether it will work is to follow through and make the appointment.

“I don’t really know too much about Rasmus Bertelsen,” Goodman told Football League World.

“I know Randers FC finished fourth in the Danish Superliga, and I’m looking at the history of Danish head coaches in English football, and Thomas Frank is clearly doing well.

“Michael Laudrup did well at Swansea, but [Ståle] Solbakken struggled at Wolves.”

“Yes, it would be a gamble, but the only way to know whether it will work or not, as with all appointments, is to have cold, hard facts.

“If they actually get the job and complete it, they will be judged.

“Not an easy question to answer.”

Cifuentes, who previously played for Hammarby in Sweden, joined QPR in October 2023.

Bertelsen’s appointment would pose a significant risk.

QPR are in a difficult situation following the departure of Cifuentes and require stability heading into next season.

Taking a risk on someone like Bertelsen could pay off handsomely if he hits the ground running, as Cifuentes did.

However, the potential downside could land the club in a relegation battle, which would be disastrous.

It’s difficult to predict how he’ll perform, though his track record in Denmark suggests he could be a wise choice, but no one will know until QPR decides whether or not to bring him in.
