He subsequently coached the &lt;a href="New%20York%20Red%20Bulls"&gt;NY/NJ MetroStars&lt;/a&gt; in the United States and the Japanese team, Nagoya Grampus Eight. In between, he found time to author the "Q-Report", detailing plans to professionalize the development of footballers in the United States. Queiroz returned to coaching national teams in 1999, when he took the job as head coach of the United Arab Emirates, before becoming head coach of South Africa in 2000. Under Queiroz, South Africa qualified for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but Queiroz resigned in March 2002 before the finals after falling out with the South African Football Association. Queiroz was part of FIFA XI coaching staff, alongside Brazilian Carlos Alberto Parreira, in a humanitarian friendly match played in war-torn Sarajevo against Bosnia and Herzegovina on 25 April 2000.
