Carlos Queiroz has admitted he is unsure of whether he will be Manchester United assistant coach next season.
Queiroz, whose contract expires in the summer, has not been told by Sir Alex Ferguson if he is wanted at Old Trafford for the 2007-8 campaign.
The 53-year-old revealed that he would return to management in Portugal if he was offered a job at one of the big clubs.
"Whether I stay or not depends on the decision of Alex and the new owners. Also I may decide to leave the club for other projects," Queiroz told the O Jogo newspaper.
"I wait to accept a big project. Initially I left Portugal for six months and now it has been 11 years.
"I have still not received a spectacular project for me to reject the option [of returning to Portugal]."
Queiroz has been at the Premiership leaders for three years from two spells at Old Trafford.
He joined in June 2002 to become United's first foreign coach after replacing Steve McClaren.
Queiroz spent just ten months as Real Madrid boss in the 2003-04 season in David Beckham's first year at the Bernabeu.
Queiroz returned to United after being sacked by Madrid in April 2004 after a disastrous spell which included crashing out of the Champions League quarter-finals to Monaco.
