Sir Kenny Dalglish believes the Scottish FA would be silly to let Steve Clarke leave his role as head coach. Clarke led Scotland to a second consecutive major tournament following the team's qualification for the upcoming World Cup finals. Dalglish argues that the manager's success in reaching tournaments justifies a contract extension beyond his current terms, according to Sky Sports.
The former Scotland international stated that Clarke has improved the national side's consistency and professional standards. He suggested that the Scottish FA should secure the manager's future before the tournament begins in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Scotland secured their place in the finals after a successful qualifying campaign in 2025, per reports from The Guardian.
Clarke originally took charge of the national team in 2019 and previously guided them to Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. Dalglish maintains that stability in the management position remains vital for continued progress on the international stage. The Scottish FA has not yet confirmed if formal talks have commenced with the 62-year-old coach.
