New QPR boss - 'We start from zero'
Ainsworth sacked by Championship strugglers QPR
"Xavi is a skilled coach when it comes to developing young players and he is very sharp on the pitch."
Calm, who started with Birmingham at under-23 level before working his way up to first-team coach in 2020, also worked with Cifuentes at Hammarby in Sweden.
"He has the extra plus that, as well as his experience in Spain and Sweden with me, he also knows the Championship," Cifuentes told the QPR website.
"We see football in a very similar way but he likes to look at the detail on the defensive phase while I usually like more to look forward, so in that sense we work well."
Cifuentes was appointed by the Championship club following the sacking of Gareth Ainsworth.
The 41-year-old's first match in charge of second-bottom Rangers ended in a 1-1 draw at Rotherham United.
