Carlos Queiroz has parted company with Qatar's national team less than a year after signing a four-year contract to coach the Asian champions and with little more than a month until the nation hosts the Asian Cup, with Marquez Lopez named as his replacement.
The former Manchester United coach and Real Madrid boss took over as the long-term replacement for Felix Sanchez in February after the Qataris hosted last year's World Cup finals and was charged with qualifying the Gulf state for the 2026 tournament.
'The Qatar Football Association has announced that Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz's tenure as head coach of the Qatar national team has ended amicably by mutual agreement between the two parties,' the QFA said in a statement.
