Steve Clarke Steps Down After World Cup Exit

Steve Clarke has stepped down as Scotland’s head coach just months after signing a four-year contract, following the team’s early World Cup exit. After a brief run — including a win over Haiti — Scotland lost to Morocco and Brazil, and their slim hopes of advancing as a third-place team vanished after Croatia beat Ghana. Fans voiced frustration with Clarke’s tactics, but he responded with a heartfelt letter praising his players and the memories forged since 2019. Scottish FA chief Ian Maxwell praised Clarke’s seven-year legacy, highlighting Scotland’s rise from underdog to World Cup qualifiers and the thousands of fans who traveled to support the team — calling them exceptional ambassadors for the game.
