Steve Clarke has resigned as Scotland head coach after Croatia’s win over Ghana confirmed Scotland’s World Cup exit. The Scottish FA announced his departure minutes after elimination was sealed, despite Clarke signing a new four-year contract only a month earlier.

Clarke thanked his players and leaves after seven years, having led Scotland back to major tournaments but winning only once across three finals. The timing shocked many, with players reportedly told while still at their Charlotte base.
