calscot 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Anyone seen this? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/8407608.stm Italian coach Nevio Scala interested in Scotland job Scala was sacked from his last coaching role in Moscow in 2004 Italian coach Nevio Scala has applied to become Scotland's next manager. The 62-year-old was on the Scottish Football Association's shortlist to succeed Craig Brown before Berti Vogts was appointed in 2002. Scala, a former Parma and Borussia Dortmund coach, was also in the running when George Burley took over last year. He said: "I have made my interest known to the Scottish FA. I have a great respect for Scottish football and would want a Scottish coach working with me." The Scotland job is vacant after Burley was sacked last month on the back of Scotland's failure to qualify for next year's World Cup finals in South Africa. Scala is currently working as a pundit on Italian radio after being sacked by Russian side Spartak Moscow in 2004. However, he led Parma into Italy's top flight for the first time in the club's history in 1990 and followed that with victory in the now defunct Uefa Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup in 1993. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
