The speculation has started in earnest, even before Steve Clarke's Scotland squad has left their World Cup base, following the head coach's shock resignation in the early hours of Sunday. A search for his replacement will soon be underway, but who will take the reins? Scotland fans have been sharing their thoughts on potential candidates, and the debate is heating up.
Ange Postecoglou, who has managed at a World Cup and in Scotland, is a popular choice among fans, with many citing his ability to get the team playing with swagger and confidence. 'Postecoglou would be the perfect fit,' says Neil, while Colin agrees, stating that the Australian would 'get the ball forward at pace and put teams under pressure.'
However, not everyone is convinced that Postecoglou is the right man for the job, with some fans questioning his recent record. 'Whatever happens, we have to accept this is no quick fix,' says Tommy. 'The players let us down big time.'
Other Scottish candidates, including David Moyes and Derek McInnes, are also in the running, with fans praising their experience and passion for the Scotland job. 'Moyes is the calibre of coach to take us to the next level,' says Euan, while Luke adds that 'the dream would be Moyes, but he's enjoying life at Everton.'
The next head coach will play a crucial role in Scotland's performance at the next Euros, which will be held in the UK. With the team likely to be one of the host nations, the pressure will be on to deliver a strong showing. Who will be the man to lead Scotland to success in 2024?
