Steve Clarke has committed his future to Scotland, signing a new contract that will see him remain as head coach through to the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The deal also covers the 2028 European Championship, making it one of the longest managerial contracts in Scottish football history.

The extension means Clarke will oversee Scotland's qualification campaigns for Euro 2028 and back-to-back World Cups — the 2026 tournament in North America and the 2030 edition. It signals strong confidence from the Scottish Football Association in Clarke's ability to lead the national side over the coming years.

Clarke has been in charge of Scotland since 2019 and guided the team to its first major tournament in over two decades when they qualified for Euro 2020. He has since led Scotland to further tournament appearances, cementing his reputation as the most successful Scotland manager of the modern era.
