Scotland National Football Team - Managers

Managers

From 1872 to 1953, and 1954 to 1957, the Scotland national team was appointed by a selection committee. Andy Beattie was manager for six matches in 1954 when Scotland competed at their first World Cup. After the tournament the selection committee resumed their duties, continuing until the appointment of Matt Busby in 1958. Busby was initially unable to assume his duties due to the serious injuries he sustained in the Munich air disaster.

Statistically the most successful manager was Alex McLeish, who won seven of the ten games he took charge of. Discounting managers who took charge of less than ten games, the least successful manager was George Burley, with just three wins in 14 games.

Famous quotes containing the word managers:

    “We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn’t always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.”
    —Anne Roiphe (20th century)
