The Scottish FA has settled on a top choice to lead the national team and aims to finalize the hiring process within the next two weeks. This timeline ensures the selected individual will be prepared for the upcoming Nations League matches, starting with an away game against Slovenia on September 26.
Steve Clarke stepped down from the role this summer after the team failed to progress past the group stage of the World Cup, concluding his seven-year period as manager. Craig Mulholland, the SFA chief football officer, is spearheading the recruitment process. He has held discussions with various coaching prospects both domestically and internationally. While interviews have concluded, officials have not disclosed if the successful candidate will be Scottish or from abroad.
Assistant coach Steven Naismith previously indicated that he anticipates remaining with the national squad staff under the guidance of whoever is named the new head coach.
