Scotland manager in ‘too many men behind the ball’ Euros admission
STEVE Clarke spoke publicly for the first time since Scotland’s exit from the Euro 2024 finals in Germany in June at Hampden earlier today when he announced his squad for the Nations League matches against Poland and Portugal next month.
Clarke was grilled by the media about the reasons for the national team’s inability to replicate their form in qualifying, their failure to reach the knockout rounds, what he could have done differently, the angry reaction of the Tartan Army to the disappointment and his own future as manager.
Here is what he had to say.
How do you reflect on Euro 2024 two months on? What lessons have you learnt?
Steve Clarke: “It’s the same as everyone else. Everyone’s disappointed. We didn’t achieve what we wanted to achieve. But I think the biggest thing you have to learn in football is to move on.
“That’s most important. The last time we had a disappointment on this level was when we failed to get to the World Cup two years ago. We went away, we reset, we came back and we managed to qualify for the Nations League A section.
