Steve Clarke Commits to Scotland After Euro 2024 Exit

Scotland manager Steve Clarke has ruled out the possibility of resigning following his team's disappointing Euro 2024 campaign, where they exited at the group stage with just one point. He expressed a strong desire to lead Scotland to its first World Cup since 1998, motivated by the opportunity to qualify in 2026. Clarke acknowledged the criticism he received for his team's performance, particularly in their final match against Hungary, but emphasized his commitment to moving forward. He announced a refreshed squad for upcoming Nations League matches, featuring notable inclusions like Ryan Gauld and Ben Doak. Clarke's contract runs until the 2026 World Cup, and he sees this qualifying campaign as a pivotal chance to achieve his goal. He remains focused on building a competitive team capable of success in future tournaments.
