Carlos Manuel Brito Leal Queiroz, ComIH (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈkaɾluʃ kɐjˈɾɔʃ]; born 1 March 1953), is a Portuguese football manager who is currently in charge of the Iran national team. He has also been the manager of the Portugal national team and Spanish club Real Madrid, and was Alex Ferguson's assistant manager at English club Manchester United. Queiroz has qualified three national teams to the World Cup, those being South Africa in 2002, Portugal in 2010, and Iran in 2014 and 2018.
Queiroz has won several awards as a coach in junior levels, and has been successful at senior and club levels, mainly as Alex Ferguson's assistant manager. In 1998, he authored the Q-Report, which detailed plans to enhance footballer development in the United States.
Queiroz is the longest serving manager in the history of the Iran national team, Team Melli after serving for over seven years from his appointment in 2011. He is the only manager in the country's history to lead the national team to two consecutive World Cups. His influence since leading the National Team has been marked with drastic changes, more disciplined and stronger tactically-oriented performances leading to a decisively successful campaign in the qualifiers to 2018 FIFA World Cup, with Iran finishing seven points above their continental arch-rivals, South Korea.
