Queiroz only had 14 first teams players (to play 65 competitive mtches) and up and to march was on the verge of the treble and 8 points clear in the league and cup final to look forward too.
Queiroz was not the culprit of all the evils of the team, as some tried to make believe.
Madrid had a very important player in Makelele, who the director allowed to leave. Queiroz asked Perez and Valdano to replace him, but they did nothing
Perez made Queiroz a scapegoat, for his inept transfer policy
Queiroz biggest mistake was going to manage the real madrid galacticos because that team is a joke. with all the best players in the world, they cant make a good enough team to even win a copa del rey. the president runs the show there and i dotn see real winning a title untill the president loosens his grip on the decisions on who plays and what players they buy. quairoz was a good scapegoat for the teams failures(thats exactly what he was because the perez knew he has to reduce the squad so he could afford all the stras coming in) and queiroz took all the blame. people in madrid know it wasn't his fault but blind people assume it was. good coaches have gone through real madrid and had the same result.
