Career

Born in Nampula, in the then Portuguese overseas province of Mozambique, Queiroz had a short career as a player, before turning to management. He moved to Portugal following Mozambique's declaration of independence in 1975,^[2] and here he built up a reputation for working with youth players. He coached the Portuguese national under-20 youth team to two Football World Youth Championship wins, in the 1989 and 1991 tournaments. As head coach of the Portuguese under-20 youth team, Queiroz was credited with discovering the "golden generation" of Portuguese football, including Luís Figo, Rui Costa, Fernando Couto, João Vieira Pinto and Jorge Costa who went on to become five of the six most capped players ever for the senior Portugal national football team.

Failure at Real Madrid

His work at Manchester United attracted the attention of Real Madrid, who wanted Queiroz as their manager to replace the exiting Vicente Del Bosque in the summer 2003. It was an opportunity to work with the likes of FIFA World Player of the Year award winners Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and Luís Figo; an opportunity which Queiroz was unable to turn down. He was appointed on a two-year contract, only a week after the arrival to Real Madrid of Manchester United player David Beckham. Many believe that Queiroz's failure at Madrid was down to the pressure from the Real Madrid president. Some believe that he was forced to pick the star players, therefore having no input into tactical decisions. Famously, he didn't want to sell Makelele, as he felt he was too important to the team. However, he was overruled. Real Madrid Club de Fútbol is a Spanish sports club most widely known for its professional football team based in Madrid. ...

Real Madrid got off to a slow start of the 2003-04 season, but at mid-season the team topped the La Liga table and was still in contention for the Spanish Cup and UEFA Champions League trophies. However, they went on to lose their final five matches and finished in 4th place, which gave Valencia CF the title. Real Madrid also disappointed in the Spanish Cup and UEFA Champions League tournaments, and didn't win a single trophy for the first time in four years. Following 10 months at Real Madrid, Queiroz would join the long list of managerial failures at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, as he was sacked in May 2004.^[4] The La Liga Season 2003/04 was won by Valencia CF.

Back at Old Trafford

Reforming the old partnership with Alex Ferguson proved an attractive option to both sides. United had trailed 15 points behind Arsenal, and Ferguson was forced to bring in temporary help from Walter Smith during the tough end of season run-in. Subsequently, Queiroz returned to United as assistant manager on 1 July 2004, signing a 3-year deal.

At the end of 2005, Carlos Queiroz was heavily rumoured to be one of the main reasons for team captain Roy Keane's unlikely departure from Manchester United in November 2005. According to Roy Keane, he did not like the way Queiroz was given so much responsibility as if he were manager of the club and Keane did not like the tactics that Queiroz employed. One of the main outbursts of Roy Keane's now infamous MUTV interview was aimed directly at Carlos Queiroz.^[5] As nobody in the media has ever seen this tape it is difficult to gather what was said. In team sports, a captain is an honorary title given to the member of the team primarily responsible for strategy and teamwork while the game is in progress on the field. ...

During May 2006, reports were linking him with a return to Portugal as manager of SL Benfica. Queiroz himself denied the rumours,^[6] which were later laid to rest when Benfica hired Fernando Santos for the spot. In December 2006, when Jurgen Klinsmann turned down the offer to coach the U.S. National Team, rumours began to spread that Queiroz would be a very strong candidate for that position as he has already had strong ties with MLS.

2006-07 season

After fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo was made a scapegoat for England's World Cup exit following his involvement in Wayne Rooney's sending-off in the quarter final against Portugal, Queiroz quickly helped Ronaldo to overcome this situation and as well as the death of Ronaldo's father in 2005, Queiroz has acted as a father figure for Ronaldo. He also has assisted manager Sir Alex Ferguson to lifting United first Premiership trophy in four years since 2003. Because of Queiroz's Portuguese connections, he has helped Manchester United in signing foreign players, most notably Nani and Anderson.
