Steve Clarke has stepped down from his role as Scotland’s head coach, a decision made public shortly after the team was eliminated from the World Cup. Clarke, who had been leading the squad since 2019, had recently extended his contract for another four years just before the tournament began. The unexpected nature of Scotland’s departure has prompted a significant reevaluation by the 62-year-old coach.
In Group L, three teams successfully advanced to the next stage.
The conclusion of Group J has also been reached.
Meanwhile, the contest for third place ended in disappointment for the Scots, with Iran lamenting a late goal against Egypt that was ultimately disallowed by VAR.
Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on your location. The final 32 teams are now determined, and there have been further updates regarding Steve Clarke’s resignation following Scotland’s confirmed exit.
This stage is crucial for determining the tournament’s future, with only one match remaining: South Africa versus Canada in Los Angeles, as the co-hosts prepare to cross the border for the encounter.
