On November 20, Qatar faced Ecuador in the first game of the 2022 World Cup and the date is already in the history of the highest FIFA tournament because with a double from Enner Valencia, the Tricolor beat the host 2-0. Since the initial edition of the tournament, in Uruguay 1930, a host team had never lost in its presentation match of the tournament.
World Cup 2022: Qatar, the most disastrous venue in history
In addition, Qatar matched a mark set by South Africa, the country that hosted the World Cup in 2010, as the only home owners eliminated in the group stage of the championship it hosted. The terrible Qatar team closed as bottom team in the 2022 World Cup and is also, to continue with the shameful data, the World Cup venue with the fewest goals scored: one (and seven conceded). He also lost his three commitments of key A.

This Monday, two and a half months after that disaster, Qatar hired a new coach to take the place of the disappointing Félix Sánchez, a Spaniard. The Portuguese Carlos Queiroz was appointed trainer, announced the federation of that small emirate.
thrashed by the Tri
Queiroz, who will turn 70 on March 1, has participated as a national coach in five World Cups: three with Iran (2014, 2018 and 2022), one with South Africa (2002) and another with his country (2010). . He could not lead Colombia to the 2022 World Cup because he was fired shortly after receiving a 6-1 defeat in Quito, against Ecuador, in the tie.
Qatar will participate as a guest in the next Gold Cup 2023 to be held this summer in the United States and, above all, it has on the horizon to defend the continental crown, won in 2019 with Sánchez as DT, in the next Asian Cup 2023, which will be will be held from January 2024.
As for clubs, we must highlight a period of Queiroz as coach of Real Madrid, in the 2003-2004 season, directing 59 games. (D)
