After signing for a club where two League Championships and
two European Cups in four years gets you the sack, Queiroz
praised his former boss:

“He (Ferguson) is a man of magnitude which is beyond
comparison. After speaking to him, he is a real football
person, more than that, he is football. He has some human
qualities which are unknown. He has all of my respect and I
have a lot of admiration for Manchester United. They are a
great club. Without a man like Sir Alex I wouldn't have
learnt as much.

“I'm not scared of following people like Ferguson and del
Bosque. They are great managers and have given me the desire
to serve football.”

Queiroz went on to say:

“My aim is to continue the project that the president and
his board are constructing. This is the most famous club in
the world. They have built a great part of the story of
world football and I am really looking forward to meeting
the expectations of the fans.”

A United statement released yesterday said:

"We thank Carlos for his contribution to Manchester United's
success last season and wish him well in his new job. A
replacement for Carlos will be sought in due course."
