Carlos Queiroz set to take Team Melli job?

Carlos Queiroz
There are a few rumors floating around that Carlos Queiroz might soon get the Team Melli job.
I first read about it in the Persian section of goal.com and a day later in presstv.ir, which is a semi-official news agency of the Islamic Republic.
According to the English language section of pressTV , the contract will be for a total amount of two million Dollars per year for three years.
The first I personally ever heard of the Portuguese coach was when I lived in New York City. It was 1996 and the inaugural season of MLS. NY/NJ MetroStars signed him as their first ever coach and despite finishing the season with a 15-0-17 record, I thought he did a respectable job with what he had. Of course since then he has gone on to work at many places as a head coach including Real Madrid and Portugal, but it is safe to say that he has not exactly set the world on fire with the results.
Anyway, it is what it is and we are sure to hear more about this soon.
