Former Man United coach Queiroz agrees new Iran deal

Former Manchester United coach Carlos Queiroz has penned a new four-year deal as the boss of Iran.

The Portuguese - credited with nurturing the talents of compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford - enjoyed an impressive World Cup although his side finished bottom of a tough Group F which included Argentina, Bosnia and Nigeria.

On the back of the summer tournament, the 61-year-old has earned himself a new deal with the national side and the former Real Madrid manager has also secured himself a pay rise.

"It 's important, but not much higher than the previous one," said the president of the Iranian Football Federation, Ali Kaffashian, about  Queiroz's pay hike.
