The 69-year-old managed Iran at last year's
finals in Qatar but left after the team's group stage
elimination.
Queiroz replaces Spaniard Felix Sanchez, who led Qatar through
their ill-fated World Cup campaign, in which the hosts lost all
three of their group matches and only scored once.
"Today, Monday, the Qatar Football Association officially
decided to appoint Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz as coach of
our first national team until 2026," the QFA said.
"Queiroz has a rich biography, great knowledge and extensive
experience in Asian football."
The 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada would
be ex-Real Madrid manager Queiroz's fifth appearance at the
finals, having led his native Portugal in 2010 before taking
Iran to the tournaments in Brazil, Russia and Qatar.
