Steve Clarke signed a new four-year contract to continue as Scotland manager just months before the 2026 World Cup got underway. Now, he’s sensationally quit his position after failing to lead his country out of the groups.
Scotland’s elimination was confirmed by Croatia’s win over Ghana on Saturday, which meant it would not be one of the eighth-best third-place finishers. It had all started promisingly, as Scotland beat Haiti 1–0, but it soon became apparent that the narrow scoreline may come back to Clarke’s side with Morocco and Brazil still to play.
