*sigh* Portuguese football is really imploding in itself. I hope that all the shit surrounding Queiroz gets sorted, and fast. Not that it's an excuse for how crappy the players are performing so far.
We desperately need a coach.

We need a coach more desperately than anybody else.
let me explain: We managed to beat Germany once 30 years ago. Since then almost everybody who was part of this team, is becoming coach of the national team and proves he isnt a proper manager.
Right now we have the best player material in a long time. Still we have a manager who says the use of a system with tactics is overated, thus we were lucky to beat kazachstan by two goals in overtime!
Btw thats Austria im speaking of.
Does anybody know a good manager with german language skills who is available?

At least your national team has a manager xD.
We have a suspended coach and the secondary manager is borderline incompetent (he never managed to win a single sub-21 game prior to becoming the secondary manager for the national team).
Portugal's on the way to a self-implosion when it comes to football, but it isn't all bad. At least, if the national team fails Euro 2012 qualification, the pariahs that are haunting our federation, from the president to the commissions director are going to get fired.
For the first time in 25 years we'll have new ideas and new goals on the Portuguese federation, which is what has been lacking for the last decade.

Well, we(chile) were in a shitty situation for a very long time, after having a great team in 1998, we finished last in SA qualifiers for 2002, and couldnt get to Germany 2006 either. Our good players(like Zamorano) were getting old, we didnt have much players playing in competitive leagues, our federation leaders were incompetent(to the point of falling asleep in FIFA reunions, signing deals with crap brands that tied us untill today, our league was turned to crap, etc...), etc..
We started having good players all at once like in 2006, but we couldnt make them work as a team, and got humilliated by Brazil in Copa America 2007, and the matches we won were because our players were individualy talented but the team didnt work at all.
Then we changed our federation president and he did a profesional job, he signed Bielsa and he did also a great job, using our players in a good way and getting to the world cup, making it the best record we ever did in qualifiers(2nd after Brazil, more victories away, had the top scorer, beating argentina, etc...).
So I think a good investment in a coach that has high level, a reestructuration of the federation perhaps would help Portugal, because the potential that have their players is huge. I put this as an example that things can be like crap and then turn out good with good and profesional work xD
