A Portuguese Football Federation board meeting Thursday is expected to discuss Queiroz's future amid growing demands for him to be replaced.
A 4-4 draw at home against lowly Cyprus and a 1-0 loss at Norway constituted Portugal's worst start to a qualifying campaign since 1996.
Queiroz is also set to miss Portugal's next two qualifiers in October after he was suspended for disrupting an anti-doping test ahead of the World Cup.
The coach is fighting possible dismissal, denying wrongdoing and saying he will appeal the suspension.
