Sorry..

I think he'll be do alright to be honest..its a big leap from assistant a club side to managing a national team though so it might take him time to get things right.

A real shocker...I mean who is gonna do the post match Man utd interviews now???? Rooney?

N18 ?

Shouldn't be too much of a 'leap'.

After all at MU he deals with the tactics and Fergie does the man management.

He obviously knows his Portuguese football and is responsible for the influx of portuguese/Brazilian players.

didn't he fail to qualify for WC 94 the last time he was in charge of Portugal?

If that is true, what sort of team did he have? also that was almost 15 years ago, i don't think anybody would reasonably argue he was a better manager then than he is now...

He's definitely learnt a lot, but managing at the club level is different from international level. He had a rather transitional side. Players like Rui Costa and Figo and the others from the so called "Golden Generation" were still young, while players like Futre were getting old. They were in our qualification group and we beat them both times, but i guess they were a bit unlucky that Switzerland took 4 points off us when IMO they didn't deserve that.

Since when?

Anyway good luck to the man, obviously too good a job for him to give up.

Think this may rule him out of being the next Man United manager though. If after two years he is doing well, he'll probably stay on. If he does poorly we'd probably look elsewhere as well because that'd be two big jobs he'd of f*cked up!

Considering how MU fan gave him a bollocking for tinkering with the tactics such as 451 and 433, i would assume.

Remember the criticism/blame Queiroz got in the past whenever we lined-up as 4-5-1/4-3-3 and did not win the game?

What?

So you don't know, just guessing because some fans blamed him a few years ago.

How much can you fail with a troop like Portugal's? He obviously got the experience, even though it's a few years ago.

Queiroz was the Portuguese coach when Portugal become Under 21 WC winner's in Riadh and Lisbon in 89 and 91

He actually kick started the basis for all the youth teams in Portuguese football

The dismiss of Portugal of WC94 was part is responsibility, but most of the blame lay with the Portuguese FA/ He actually left stating "until you clean out this Cr@p, I'm not staying" (loose translation, can't remember is exact words now)

Let's see how he fares this time around

It's well known CQ was mainly behind the tactics, not saying Fergus didn't have a say, he obviously had the final say.

This is pretty ironic as Spanky has been blabbering on about paco and rafa all season long

It's not ironic at all. Fergie has proved he can work with other coaches and still be successful.

Rafa hasn't.

Is it? By who?

People who don't really know but guess stuff.

He's called coach for a reason ffs

Whats with MU fans and denial?

Just incase your not sure what a coach does:

Coaching entails the application of sport tactics and strategies during the game or contest itself, and usually entails substitution of players and other such actions as needed. Most coaches are former participants in the sports in which they are involved, and those who are not have usually had extensive training in the sport in question.

You implied he dealt with all tactics you complete moron.

Now you come up with that genius line -

'not saying Fergus didn't have a say, he obviously had the final say.'

I Guess laser eye surgery isn't all it's cracked up be, 'cos your still blind as a bat.

I said he deals with the tactics, and is mainly involved in them, rather than man managment etc, try reading before you post

I was implying he's involved in the tactics, not other areas, tactics were delegated to CQ. Ofcourse Fergus has the final say, he is the manager after all

If you can find one article that says all tactics were delegated to Quieroz, I'm all ears?

Fair enough, ill look on Monday

Queiroz was also coach of South Africa a few years ago. How did he do there?

There are extensive internet videos showing Carlos presenting his in-depth tacticaly analysis to Fergie, who replies 'Drink! Feck! Arse!' before falling asleep.

This is FACT and if you don't agree you are in DENIAL.

Plus Fergie didn't win anything before Carlos joined so there chiz chiz.

Qualified them for the WC and once that was done he got replaced by a SA coach, can't remember why. They did terrible in the WC.
