Now it’s adios Queiroz

NEW Real Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz insisted last night that there was no friction between David Beckham and Alex Ferguson at his former club Manchester United.

The 50-year-old Mozambique-born Portuguese coach made his comments as he was presented by club president Florentino Perez at a press conference, after they had reached agreement for him to replace Vicente Del Bosque.

Queiroz, assistant manager at United before joining Madrid, said: "I have never seen any friction between Beckham and Ferguson. Ferguson has been like a father to Beckham and they get on well."
