Steve Clarke resigns as Scotland head coach after World Cup exit

Steve Clarke has stepped down from his role as head coach of Scotland following the team's elimination from the World Cup. This decision came immediately after Scotland's group-stage exit, which was confirmed after losses to Brazil and Morocco. Clarke had signed a new four-year contract just a month prior, intending to lead the team through Euro 2028 and the 2030 World Cup. He stated his decision was based on not advancing past the group stage, which he had anticipated might prompt his departure. Clarke communicated the news to his players in Charlotte, North Carolina, sharing emotional farewells after a seven-year tenure.
