Ex-Man Utd coach Queiroz sent off during Egypt AFCON tie after ‘losing his head’
Egypt boss Carlos Queiroz was shown a red card during his side's Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash with Cameroon.
The former Manchester United assistant was left incensed on the sidelines in Cameroon after a second-half of what he felt was harsh officiating.
Queiroz was shown a yellow card midway through the second period.
And Gambian referee Bakary Gassama finally had enough of the manager just six minutes later, showing him a red card for his persistent antics on the sideline.
Queiroz had to be held back by his assistants as he gesticulated with the officials, baffled as to why Cameroon hadn't been penalised for an elbow.
The Portuguese coach finally made his way down the tunnel after he finished protesting his dismissal.
Egypt assistant coach Roger De Sa was also shown a yellow card moments later.
"Carlos Queiroz wants to fight the referee," one fan tweeted.
"LOOOOL Carlos Queiroz has lost his head," said one.

"Carlos Queiroz hasn't been this pissed off since Roy Keane took the head off him in training," added a third.
"Hahahaha Carlos Queiroz is off his head," another wrote.
Queiroz was also angry before the clash had even started, taking aim at Cameroon legend Samuel Eto'o.
A video published on the official Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) Facebook page showed Eto'o, who is now its president, using the word 'war' more than once when referring to the game.
"It's a very unfortunate comment, a very bad approach, a very bad message to the people of Cameroon," Queiroz said.
"To make this declaration of war before one game [shows he] didn't learn anything when he was in professional football.
"Football is not about war. Football is about celebration, it's about joy, it's about happiness."
Egypt and Cameroon played out a 0-0 draw in the semi-final, with the tie going to extra-time.
