Summary
Ian Maxwell said the Scottish FA's search for Steve Clarke's successor "starts now," with "nothing off the table" after Scotland's World Cup exit triggered the coach's resignation.
11th among 12 third-placed teams left Scotland outside the round of 32 after a 1-0 win over Haiti, a 1-0 loss to Morocco and a 3-0 defeat by Brazil.
September Nations League games against North Macedonia, Slovenia and Switzerland give the FA some urgency, though Maxwell said the priority is appointing the right person rather than setting a firm deadline.
Clarke, appointed in 2019, led Scotland to their first men's tournament in 23 years and back to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, despite only one win across three finals appearances.
