He started the work at the start of the 2002-2003 season. His services at Manchester United would grab the attention of Real Madrid who was in search of a new manager for 2003 to replace departing manager Vicente del Bosque.
Queiroz was provided with the opportunity to work with some of the top players in the world like Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, and Luis Figo and manage a well-renowned club. The opportunity was too good to be missed and Queiroz would take the offer to manage the team for the 2003-2004 season. Real Madrid got off to a good start for the 2003-2004 season and was topping the La Liga table by mid-season.
But, during their final five matches, they lost all their game finishing the season in fourth place. Real lost the Copa del Rey and the Champions League as well and only won the Supercopa de Espana trophy. The team's failure to perform well in the season was pointed out to Querioz's poor managerial skills and tactical decision and he was sacked from the job in May 2004.
