Clarke steps down as Scotland boss after World Cup exit
Steve Clarke resigned as head coach following Scotland's exit from the World Cup. A statement from the Scottish FA was released just moments after Croatia's win over Ghana on Saturday, which sealed Scotland's fate. Clarke stated, "The most emotional part of this goodbye is for my players, without whom we wouldn't have had any of the memories that we've accumulated from 2019 until now." He had only signed a new four-year deal a month ago.
The players were told on Saturday with Clarke and the squad still in their Charlotte base. The Scots defeated Haiti 1-0 in their opening match in Boston, before losing 1-0 to Morocco and then being beaten 3-0 by Brazil in Miami. Clarke had taken over as Scotland head coach seven years ago. Under his stewardship, the Scots reached two European Championships before making it to this summer's World Cup. Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell said, "While we are all disappointed to have exited the World Cup at the group stage, we must not lose sight of the undeniable progress made during Steve's seven years in charge."
