Scotland manager Steve Clarke has signed a new contract to remain in charge through the 2030 men's World Cup, the Scottish Football Association announced Thursday.
Clarke, the nation's most successful coach, will lead the team beyond the upcoming 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and will also guide Scotland's campaign at Euro 2028, co-hosted by Britain and Ireland.
The extension provides continuity for a side preparing for their first World Cup appearance in 28 years. Clarke has already secured qualification for consecutive European Championships and next month's global tournament.
"I am truly honored to lead my squad into our first men's World Cup in 28 years," Clarke said in a statement. "It's very important to look ahead and plan for the future."
Scotland chief executive Ian Maxwell said Clarke's record and long-term vision made him the clear choice. The 62-year-old Clarke has managed Scotland for seven years. The team is in Group C at the 2026 World Cup with Brazil, Morocco, and Haiti.
