Veteran football coach Carlos Queiroz has set a notable, though mixed, record in FIFA World Cup history after managing in five separate tournaments, the most recent being the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Data compiled from his World Cup appearances — spanning 2002, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 — shows that Queiroz has overseen a total of 16 matches. Out of these, his teams secured four wins and four draws, while suffering eight defeats.
The statistics further reveal a balanced goal record, with his sides scoring 19 goals and conceding an equal number across the tournaments. Despite his extensive experience on football’s biggest stage, the figures highlight the challenges he has faced in translating tactical expertise into consistent success at the World Cup level.
Queiroz, who has coached multiple national teams including Iran, Portugal, and Egypt, is widely respected for his defensive organization and ability to develop competitive squads.
However, his World Cup record underscores the difficulty of progressing deep into the tournament, particularly for teams outside the traditional football powerhouses.
His fifth World Cup appearance places him among a select group of coaches with extensive tournament experience, reinforcing his status as one of the most enduring figures in international football management.
Analysts say that while the numbers may not reflect dominance, Queiroz’s longevity and repeated qualifications for the World Cup remain a significant achievement in global football.
