'Cho Shin-sung' Yang Min-hyuk is having a turbulent first season.
Coach Marty Cifuentes, who took him seriously, put down the baton. The Queens Park Rangers (QPR) reported on the club's website on the 30th (Korea Standard Time) that `Coach Cifuentes has entered the so-called 'gardening leave' to ban the employment of competing teams.' "Kevin Bash and coach Savicam will temporarily take charge of the first team and prepare for the final game of the 2024-2025 season against Sunderland." QPR concludes this season with an away game against Sunderland on May 3.
Cifuentes is the one who brought Yang Min-hyuk on loan from Tottenham. Cifuentes has ties to Korean soccer. Cifuentes led Sweden's Hambardby in the 2022-2023 season, when he coached Boyanich and Rubikshon, who currently play for Ulsan HD. After they moved to Ulsan, Cifuentes paid attention to the K-League. Naturally, Yang Min-hyuk caught my eye. After taking the helm of QPR, he also tried to recruit Yang Min-hyuk. Big clubs jumped in and gave up their minds. Cifuentes' unrequited love finally paid off.

Cifuentes actively appointed Yang Min-hyuk. It was used as a zero-top as well as the side. Yang Min-hyuk made a quick soft landing in Cifentes' faith. It has established itself as a new offensive spearhead for QPR by opening the scoring. Coach Cifuentes left the team. As Yang Min-hyuk's lease period is until this season, it does not significantly affect his future course of action. Yang Min-hyuk will return to Tottenham after this season. Tottenham has also expressed expectations for Yang Min-hyuk several times.
Yang Min-hyuk has various experiences in his first year in England. Yang Min-hyuk showed sensational performance in the K-League in the 2024 season and joined Tottenham. Tottenham asked Yang Min-hyuk to join early. It was originally scheduled to join in January 2025, but it moved to the UK faster than planned. The expectations at Tottenham were considerable. Yang Min-hyuk signed a contract for the first team, not Team B. He showed good performance in training and received favorable reviews internally.
Yang Min-hyuk, who received No. 18, calmly waited for his debut in the English Premier League (EPL) by training faithfully amid groundless rumors such as ghost rumors. In the first leg of the League Cup semifinal against Liverpool on the 9th, he was listed for the first time since entering England, and the opportunity seemed to come. However, the British media also failed to sit on the bench in the third round (round 64) of the FA Cup against Tamworth on the 12th, when they expected to play.

It was because of Tottenham's team situation. Tottenham has repeatedly been sluggish this season due to the overlapping injury demons. Rumors have emerged that Enze Postecoglou will be replaced. 'Promising stocks' It was not an environment that could give Yang Min-hyuk a steady chance. Yang Min-hyuk went on a lease and had a successful lease life at QPR. There were moments of lackluster performance, but he showed why he is the best prospect. He was also called up to the A national team.
The various experiences gained from the first year, from loan to debut, goal, transfer of the A representative, and replacement of the coach, are expected to be great nourishment for Yang Min-hyuk, who dreams of conquering England.
Meanwhile, Cifuentes' future course is expected to be a big topic. Coach Cifuentes has been at odds with the leadership over the way and direction of the club's management. Amid talk of being able to leave the team, West Bromwich was mentioned as the next destination. However, QPR gave a leave of absence for reemployment and expressed discomfort. QPR CEO Christian Nouri said "This is, of course, a disappointing situation for all concerned. I fully understand the frustration now felt by supporters"The club is working hard to resolve this issue as soon as possible and start preparing for the future in earnest."
