Scotland Head Coach Steve Clarke Signs New Contract Until 2026
Scotland’s national football team will continue to be led by head coach Steve Clarke until 2026, as he commits to a new contract on the eve of the Euro 2024 qualifier against Cyprus at Hampden Park.
Clarke’s first match as the coach of Scotland was against Cyprus in 2019, leading the team to Euro 2020 – their first major finals in 22 years. Since then, Scotland has been promoted to the UEFA Nations League Group A and continues to set its sights on qualifying for more major tournaments.
“I am immensely proud of what we have achieved so far and am excited to lead the team through the next two qualifying campaigns, as well as Nations League Group A,” Clarke said. “Of course, the ultimate goal is to qualify for more major tournaments.”
