According to a report in A Bola, the FPF (Portuguese Football Federation) are ready to give national team coach Carlos Queiroz the sack. The FPF will meet on Thursday to discuss the beleaguered coach's faith.
Queiroz failed to guide Portugal past the round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup and is since continually being criticised. Things got even worse for the former Real Madrid coach after this summer's tournament when he was handed a six-month ban for insulting members of the country's anti-doping authority.
The 57-year-old Queiroz was appointed as the coach of the Seleccao in July 2008, but has never really been able to impress with Portugal.
The report claims that the majority of the FPF's direction is ready to give Queiroz the boot, with president Gilberto Madail being one of the few board members left who is in full support of the former Manchester United assistant. However, Madail has made it clear that he will follow the opinion of the majority.
Former Sporting CP coach Paulo Bento appears to be sitting in pole position to replace Queiroz if the latter indeed gets the sack later this week. Bento has been out of work since November 2009.
