Clarke departs with 38 wins from 81 matches, a record-breaking contribution that has restored pride in the national shirt. The focus now turns to whether the SFA will opt for a continuation of the current style or a tactical shift, potentially under a manager like Postecoglou who is known for his aggressive, attacking philosophy.
The next manager will inherit a squad that has grown accustomed to competing at the highest level, though they will be tasked with improving Scotland’s tournament record. Despite the progress under Clarke, the recent victory over Haiti remained the only win the nation recorded across three major finals appearances during his tenure.
