Scotland Boss Gordon Strachan Signs New Two-Year Deal

Published 17th Oct 2015

Gordon Strachan will take charge of Scotland's World Cup qualifying campaign after signing a two-year extension as manager.

Strachan had taken time to consider his future after Scotland finished fourth in their European Championship group, behind Germany, Poland and play-off contenders Republic of Ireland.

But the vocal backing of an 11,000-strong travelling support in Scotland's final qualifier, a 6-0 win against Gibraltar, helped persuade Strachan to stay on.

A statement from the governing body read: "The Scottish FA is delighted that Gordon has agreed to remain in charge after the unwavering support demonstrated by the Scotland fans throughout the European qualifying campaign.''
