Queiroz set to leave Man Utd for Portugal

Monday, 7 July 2008

Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz looks set to leave the club and take over as manager of the Portugal national side.

The former Real Madrid boss was in Lisbon yesterday to discuss the move with the Portuguese Football Federation.

Speaking afterwards, he said the matter needed to be resolved between the federation and Manchester United.

However, reports this morning say United are already looking for a new assistant manager, with academy boss Brian McClair identified as the leading contender.

The former Real Madrid manager said: "I can say little more than you know at this time.

"Currently the matter is out of my hands. From my part, there is not much to say, it needs to be resolved between the federation and Manchester United.

"We must wait calmly. I have spoken with the two parties and now I wait for movement."
