Portugal coach Carlos Quieroz sacked by Portuguese Football Federation
Out of Work: Queiroz
Carlos Queiroz has been sacked as coach of the Portuguese national side.
The Portuguese Football Federation confirmed the news this evening, just two days after the national team suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat at the hands of
Norway in the latest round of Euro 2012 qualifiers.
Queiroz is currently serving a six-month ban for his alleged misbehaviour
during an anti-doping testing session at a training camp in the run-up to the
World Cup, and was not on the bench for Tuesday’s defeat.
Portugal were also held to a 4-4 draw with Cyprus in their opening qualifier
last week, and the team’s lack of performance on the pitch, allied to Queiroz’s alleged misdemeanour off it, has forced the Portuguese federation to act.
The former Manchester United assistant manager had two years remaining on his contract with the Portuguese federation.
A federation statement read: ‘Given the recent events, and after reviewing the current situation concerning the national coach, the directorate of the FPF decided unanimously [to end] the contract… with the national coach, Carlos Queiroz, with immediate effect. This decision was communicated to Carlos Queiroz.’
The statement added that the search for new coach would begin immediately with a view to having a new man in place in time for the team’s next qualifier at home to Denmark on October 8.
The statement added: ‘[The FPF will] start immediately contacts and talks with a view to hiring a technician who performs the functions of national coach in time to prepare and lead the team in the forthcoming qualifying matches for Euro 2012.’
