Steve Clarke has stepped down as Scotland's manager following the team's elimination from the World Cup in the group stage. Despite signing a four-year contract last month, Clarke decided to resign after Scotland's failure to progress beyond the group stages.

World Cup Exit and Criticism

Scotland's exit from the World Cup was confirmed after Croatia beat Ghana in Group L, meaning Clarke's side could no longer finish among the top third-placed teams. The team started strong with a win against Haiti but suffered defeats to Morocco and Brazil, leading to their elimination.

Clarke faced criticism for perceived overly cautious tactics, which may have contributed to his decision to resign. In a letter to supporters, he expressed his emotional goodbye, particularly for his players, and wished his successor good luck.

Clarke's Tenure and Achievements

During his seven years in charge, Clarke led Scotland to the past two European Championships, ending a 23-year wait to reach any major tournament. This included their first appearance at a World Cup finals since 1998.

Despite these achievements, Scotland has failed to progress beyond the group stages in any major tournament in 13 attempts. Clarke's resignation comes as a surprise given his recent contract extension.

Potential Successors

Everton boss David Moyes is among the front runners to replace Clarke. Scotland will be looking to build towards the 2028 Euros, where they could be playing on home soil as Glasgow is one of the host cities.
