Carlos Queiroz will not be moving to Benfica after the Portuguese giants opted to install Fernando Santos as their new coach.

Benfica were left scrambling for a new coach after Ronald Koeman resigned to take charge of PSV Eindhoven.

Queiroz came across Benfica's radar and Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant admitted it would be an interesting move.

It would appear, though, as if Benfica were unable to persuade United to part with Queiroz, as they unveiled Santos at a press conference on Saturday evening.
