Queiroz in Porto sights

Carlos Queiroz has been linked with the vacant manager's position at Porto.

According to reports in Portugal, Manchester United's assistant manager is one of the main candidates to succeed Co Adriaanse at Porto.

Queiroz is a well respected figure at Old Trafford, but has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for €1.8 million (£1.2 million) and The Red Devils could be tempted to cash in.

Porto are currently on tour in England, and speculation suggests that club bosses will seek out Queiroz for talks.

"We intend to resolve the situation by the weekend," said president Pinto da Silva.

Adriaanse resigned this week after just one year at the helm due to "a breakdown in confidence between him and the club's board."

Apart from Queiroz, former Argentina boss Jose Pekerman and Spaniard Jose Antonio Camacho are also believed to in the running to replace Adriaanse.

I didn't buy this claim. Of the three, I guess maybe Pekerman might take the job.

Don't see Queiros going to Porto, he's a Sporting man

Camacho has claimed he'll only manage Benfica in Portugal.

Perkerman...who knows.

But looks like they're actually going for Jesualdo Ferreira...Boavista's top guy.

Its done - Jesualdo Ferreira.

Is it a good sign?

A FC Porto SAD «desmente categoricamente» ter encetado negociações com Jesualdo Ferreira, técnico do Boavista para a presente temporada, no sentido de que fosse substituir o lugar do holandês Co Adriaanse, que recentemente deixou o clube azul-e-branco.




«Face às recentes notícias que têm vindo a público em relação ao novo treinador da FC Porto - Futebol, SAD, a Administração vem desmentir categoricamente que já tenham sido desenvolvidos quaisquer contactos», afirmam os «dragões», através do seu site oficial.

«A FC Porto, SAD encontra-se neste momento a estudar, com a máxima serenidade, os dossiers de diversos treinadores, entre todos os que lhes foram apresentados, não tendo estabelecido até à presente data qualquer contacto.», conclui o comunicado de dois pontos.

Jesualdo is not a done deal yet
And I think that Porto would have to pay a hefty price to Boavista if they go out for him
But who knows....
