He was just fired today from Portugal.

I know a lot of people may think it's unimaginable but he did play in the MLS for many years, so he does know this league to a certain extent and as a player he had no problem moving to North America. Perhaps he's the answer to our team for next season. I'm all for keeping Preki but Queiroz would be fantastic for this team. Toronto has a large Portuguese community as well so it's not like he's totally out of his element.

in my opinion he did very well at MANU. He has a good knowledge of the game on/off the pitch and can pick players. I would like to see someone like this to replace both MO and Preki, and a have a one man show.

CQ is a pretty bad manager but a great #2. He wouldn't come here anyways. IIRC, he was getting like 3 or 4 mil at portugal.

you don't go from manager of Portugal to a second-tier MLS club.

Hell you don't go from manager of a first-tier MLS club to manager of a second-tier MLS club. :)

His team couldn't score goals when it mattered and they gave up 4 goals to Cyprus.

He'd fit right in here.

I do think Queiroz managed the Shite Bulls for like an year before becoming SAF's assistant... he knows all about how wacky this league is

he never managed that game he was suspended, his assistant took over that game

Carlos managed the MetroStars (NYRB) and had a poor record.

He has never had a good record when he is the main man other than winning the B2B Junior WC titles with Portugal.

Good soccer mind (he authored the USA Q-report that created things like generation Adidas) but fails to excel when left alone.

Back to OT me thinks.

I'm sure the assistant did exactly what Queiroz wanted him to do and didn't implement an entirely new system.

He was in the broadcast booth in the game and interestingly made a few jabs at the team and the formation.

The main annoucer at one point said that "Who scores 3 can score 4" meaning Cyprus (Portugal winning 4-3 at that point) and Queiroz responded "Who gives up 3, can give up 4"

Queiros never played in the MLS as a player,however, he did coach New York.

billyfly

1 thing for sure, he'd be a "rockstar" here especially with the Portuguese community.

Hell, SAF would even come and visit his cousins and Carlos during the off-season. 2 birds with 1 stone sort of thing.

WTF are you guys talking about? You must be watching some league that doesn't have a hard on for parity. Sounds awesome.


I'd love to see him here. I am not Portuguese but I may be biased..

He "could" come here if he felt like he wanted a change. He's kinda like that. He's a typical Portuguezer but also kinda a weirdo. I know this b/c I have spoken to my family (thru marriage) who coached those WC winning teams with him.


My first guess will be back to EPL though.

While we are at it why not get Marcello Lippi here. He has won pretty much every title possible as a coach

billyfly

He most likely wouldn't come but I do stress that he "could" if it tickled his fancy (which is slightly unpredictable).

He'd tear the MLS apart. Forget him as a coach, bring him as a player.

He's the former manager of the MetroStars.

John Carver, part 2. Good technical coach, can't run the room.

for a very short time period lets not forget.
what i was suggesting is that theres bigger fish to catch then the MLS, more specifically TFC

Wasn't Walter Zenga on our shortlist in year one before we decided on Mo? Apparently he was interested in the job. Not sure about his coaching style but has decent pedigree.

Personally i think the "you can't run MLS unless you've been in MLS" theory will be dead pretty shortly. RBNY will put a partial steak in it, and some other coaches that come along will do their part as well.

You have a good manager who can identify talent and pair him with some technical staff, rinky-dink MLS regulations will not be a challenge to overcome. Don't shit yourself, every league has it's ins and outs. MLS may have more but the guys running the show for many teams right now are not nearly on the level many available international managers are.

i think its more the limitations of the MLS that the coach has to be aware of, Hans Backe had a relatively similar constraints in Denmark (or norway or wherever)

I'm not sure he'd be any good. Let's face it ... he inherited a Portuguese team that had made the finals in 2004 and semi-finals in 2006, and there was talent when he inherited the team in 2008. What did he do with the team?

He STRUGGLED in World Cup qualification.
HE STRUGGLED at the World Cup.
His squad has struggled so far in European qualification.

If he can't get a talented team like Portugal to play well consistently, WHAT would make you think he can take a bunch of average joes and get them to play well?

Move on please.

i agree.you need somebody with knowledge that wants to develop all aspects of the club. bielsa is changing chilean football for the better.

Toronto needs to make a play for Del Piero! And perhaps Gatuso as well!

Well not technically true since he went to Chelsea first. When Scolari went there though everybody was like WTF?

For the record, I'm in favour of looking to Mexico for staff at this point. Whether it be managers or coaches, I think it would be a smart idea to find some quality Mexican staff members. They have a different set of technical skills and a different set of tactical ideas than what our club has been exposed to in the past.

This isn't to say that they're necessarily better, but I think it would go a long way to making the staff of this club more rounded which can only have positive spinoffs for the development of our players.

In terms of record, it was actually Cummins, who got a very raw deal from the wee redhead.
