Just read the article and he doesn't seem to be all that...
 
Manchester United have appointed former Portugal and South Africa coach Carlos Queiroz as their new assistant manager.

It is the first time the club have turned to an overseas coach but the Mozambique-born 49-year-old follows in the footsteps of Archie Knox, Brian Kidd, Steve McClaren and Jim Ryan in serving as Sir Alex Ferguson's right-hand man at Old Trafford.

Queiroz brings with him an impressive track record. He has managed two different national teams - Portugal, where he has lived most of his life, and South Africa. His work and management style will therefore be known to at least one member of the first team squad at Old Trafford - Quinton Fortune.

Queiroz was the manager of South Africa until March of this year, having been appointed in the summer of 2000. His success in guiding them to the World Cup finals was overshadowed, however, by their disappointing performance in the African Nations Cup. They were knocked out in the quarter-finals by the hosts Mali.

Queiroz said: `My future lies with a project with the potential for success.'
 
Why didn't we go for Taylor if we were actually going to get an assistant manager? Experience?

Peter Kenyon is delighted with Manchester United's first major signing of the summer, new assistant manager Carlos Queiroz.
The Chief Executive told MUTV: "We're absolutely delighted.

"Carlos' experience will add a great deal to what is already a good coaching staff that's helped us collect many trophies over the last few years.

"He has a very broad background. In Portugal he was credited with developing the youth system there and bringing some of their golden era of players through like Pinto and Figo.

"He's also managed in the USA and Japan, so he brings with him a wealth of international football experience.

"Sir Alex is also delighted. He's been looking at Carlos for some time. It's a critical role and it's all part of ensuring that in the next three years with Sir Alex, he's got the best people around him."

To see Carlos arrive at Old Trafford and the full interview with Peter Kenyon, watch MUTV's Red Hot News.

From ManUtd.com:
Manchester United are delighted to announce that Carlos Queiroz has been appointed Assistant Manager and First Team Coach to Sir Alex Ferguson.

The 49 year-old Portuguese coach joins the Old Trafford staff on a three-year contract.

Commenting on the appointment, Sir Alex Ferguson said: "I'm really pleased that we have Carlos on board. He is someone I've been looking at for quite a while. I know he has an excellent track record in the past as a manager, particularly with South Africa and Portugal, and he is known as an innovative coach. I feel that he is someone who will come in and challenge the players."

Peter Kenyon, Manchester United's chief executive, said: "Carlos is a terrific addition to an already strong coaching staff. His qualifications speak for themselves and we are all looking forward to working with him next season."

Carlos Queiroz said: "It is a great privilege to join Manchester United and I am proud and honoured to be given this opportunity. With my full commitment and devotion to the job I hope to help the club achieve even more success in the coming years and meet the high expectations of Manchester United fans."

Fact File

Carlos Queiroz was born in Nampula, Mozambique on March 1, 1953. Educated at the University of Lisbon.

After his playing career in Mozambique, he joined the Portuguese FA with responsibility for youth development. He is credited with discovering and nurturing Portugal's "Golden Generation" of star players such as Joao Pinto, Luis Figo, and Rui Costa.

Under Queiroz's leadership Portugal won successive World Youth Championships in 1989 and 1991. He coached the Portuguese national team from 1991 to 1994 before moving to Sporting Lisbon.

He later coached in the US at the New York MetroStars and in Japan at Grampus Eight, before leading South Africa to qualification for the 2002 World Cup.


If this leads to an improvement in our finding and developing of youth, then this is a very good move!
 
i think fergie made the right move with this guy as, he can scout players from those regions also help out with tactics which fergie sometimes gets found wanting agianst defensive minded teams.

Great fergie picks team and motivates them and the new guy helps organ ise teh tactics.

Last season:
No assistant manager - BAD.

Next season:
Assitant manager, angry Keane, established Ruud, more signings to come - VERY GOOD.

Definitely speaks Portuguese and from their to Spanish it's not too hard a transition. But I don't know whether he will help Veron-wise.

He has a good record developing/forming young players but Portugal are not a huge testament to his capabilities on the discipline/ determination/mental toughness side of things.

So you do you think his strengths are on the training pitch rather than the physcology department? If thats true its not a problem. I think last year Fergie was able to manage motivation well enough but may have been weak as a tracksuit manager. Simple things like defensive drills seemed absent from some of our play at times so surely the presence of any other senior coach/assistant manager will be of benefit. Here's looking forward to those three more trebles.

though i dont know much about this guy yet, i think its a great step that Fergie has got someone in to help out. It was clear at times last season that he could have done with some input. If this guy can bring some fresh imputeous to the players & brighten up training a bit for the players then all the better.

Not a chance, they've made it clear that the person would have to have had big success in club football and this guy hasn't, he's got a 3 year contract as coach and that will be it. Good to have though, hope his english is good!

Most importantly - does he speak English?

nahm news to me though. Sounds like a Latin invasion is underway which is music to my ears. Expect Ronaldo + an other to arrive within weeks of the final.

Carlos Queiroz is probably not such a bad choice of assistant manager, tho' he didn't do too well with Bafana Bafana(SA's national team.), but he was better than their previous manager and givenm the lack of talent SA have it was not a bad effort. He seems to have good tactical knowledge, but when it comes to motivating players, he doesn't seem to have the ability.
 
Wishfull thinking cd :p

Anyways about Quieroz. He is a good coach. He is the one who developed the talents of Portugal's cuurent squad at junior and Under 21 level .That appointment is good for our youth and scouting policies imo. Not forgetting our style of play!

as for getting Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />
 
I agree with MOM.
This is a move initialsed by the commercial department. For Merchandising reasons.Expect a japanese Physio next? :p
 
"Elephants are mystical to me. They can be gentle, patient and calm. Yet when provoked they can move with amazing swiftness. My statues show how different people have different perceptions of the elephant."
Carlos Queiroz, explaining his love of elephants.

"Football is an art for me - you should think about magic, inspiration, motivation, challenge, fantasy. It's something that you can develop, as long as there is the human talent. The most important thing is magic, hard work, patience and a long-term view, giving time to players to grow up. We cannot walk unless we fall down several times."
Carlos Queiroz on his football philosophy.

"When the coach and players start to show one attitude, then the fans, the supporters and press will follow. If you are not in on the goal, you can move aside. We are not taking you with us."
Carlos Queiroz on the importance of sticking together.

He'll do justtttttttttttttttt fine. :D
 
Fergie obviosly has faith in him. From what teamtalk said, he seems well-travelled and experienced. Worked with the likes of Figo in Portugal, and has worked in America, so his English should be ok.

Hope he's the right choice. :)

Not familiar with his coaching technique, but he must be alright if he has managed Portugal and South Africa. If he is good enough for SAF, he's good enough for us imo. :D
 
Whats wrong with being British? I guess we don't have anybody that can coach or motivate the players like Kiddo and Steve etc. did, that United will look at. Or maybe they did.

The amount of British coaches/mgr with experience and talent in the coaching world thats unemployed in Britian currently is bloody amazing.

I feel sorry for Jimmy. May we all wish him well. Its time that British came first.
