World Cup 2026: Roberto Martinez will be the coach of a new European national team!

Following their disappointing exit from the World Cup, the Scottish national team finds itself at a crossroads, with the hunt for a new manager now in full swing.

According to DailyRecordSports, one name that has surfaced prominently in the search is Roberto Martinez. The former Portugal boss, who parted ways with the Seleção after their underwhelming campaign on football's biggest stage, appears to be a serious contender for the vacancy. Sources suggest that the Scottish Football Association has placed the Spanish coach high on their list of preferred candidates as they look to chart a new path forward.

Yet Martinez is by no means the only name under consideration. The race for the position remains highly competitive, with the SFA also weighing the merits of other high-profile figures. Among those reportedly on the shortlist are seasoned Scottish tactician David Moyes and Shaun Maloney, who previously managed Aberdeen.

With the pressure to make a swift appointment mounting, insiders indicate that a final decision on who will take charge of the Scotland side is expected to be announced in the coming days.
