Steve Clarke may be leaving as Scotland's coach

Steve Clarke, the coach of the Scotland national football team, is possibly nearing the end of his tenure. As Scotland prepares for an upcoming match in Piraeus, it marks a significant moment in Clarke's career. At 61 years old, he has hinted that he is "75 percent" sure he will step down after the World Cup next year. Clarke has been with the team for nearly seven years. His period in charge has included significant achievements, such as leading Scotland to the Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 tournaments. However, he also faced criticism for poor performances in those competitions. Despite these low points, his time as coach is seen more positively than the rapid turnover of previous coaches. Scotland has shown some improvement recently, notably during their Nations League matches. Clarke's goal is to finish strong and take Scotland further in the upcoming World Cup in North America and Mexico. The team's current form will reflect his legacy, although it won’t define his entire time in charge. The next match against Greece will be a tough challenge. The Greek team has performed well, finishing second in their group and showcasing strong players. Clarke's squad will be without some key players due to injuries, which makes the upcoming games even more critical. As Clarke prepares his team, he faces important decisions about the formation and line-up. Despite the challenges, he hopes to leave the national team in a strong position for the future. A successful outing in Greece could be a fitting farewell gift from Clarke to the Scotland team.
