Carlos Queiroz appointed new Qatar coach

Carlos Queiroz has been named as the new head coach of Qatar.

The 2022 World Cup hosts had been without a coach since long-time boss Felix Sanchez's contract expired at the end of last year.

But Queiroz has succeeded Sanchez, having himself been out of work since Iran were eliminated from the World Cup.

That was the third finals the former Real Madrid coach had been to with Iran, although his two spells with the team were separated by unsuccessful stints with Colombia and Egypt.
