Carlos Queiroz , ComIH ('kaɾluʃ kɐi'ɾɔʃ), (born 1 March 1953 in Nampula, Mozambique) is a Portuguese football coach. He is currently Alex Ferguson's assistant manager at English club Manchester United, where he is currently enjoying his second spell. Queiroz is the fifth assistant Ferguson has had during his 20 years at the club, following Archie Knox, Brian Kidd, Walter Smith and Steve McClaren.
Queiroz has won several awards as a coach in junior levels, and he has been fairly successful at senior and club levels. He is considered the discoverer of the Portuguese "Golden Generation" in the early 1990s, which most prominently include Luís Figo and Rui Costa who were both selected for the FIFA 100 celebrations. In 1998, he authored the "Q-Report" which detailed plans to enhance football player development in the United States. Queiroz was also one of two seat holders for the now-defunct A1 Grand Prix team A1 Team Portugal – the other was Luís Figo.
