ian1964 10,724 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 SFA chief executive Stewart Regan QUITS in wake of Scotland job fiasco and summer friendlies row Regan was under pressure after failing to land Michael O'Neill as new national team boss following Gordon Strachan's departure. STEWART REGAN has resigned as Chief Executive of the SFA. SunSport can reveal Regan decided this afternoon to step down from his £300,000-a-year post with immediate effect. Regan was under pressure after failing to land Michael O’Neill as new Scotland boss. He held talks with the SFA board today. Regan said: “I have devoted my time in Scotland to modernising, protecting, developing and promoting the game, whilst facing into some extremely challenging head winds during my time in the job. “While it has been tough, I am proud to leave having overseen a period of significant change and substantial growth following the McLeish Report in 2010. “We are now at another staging point and I recognise that it is now time for further change. “I have decided to step aside to allow new leadership to take the organisation forward. “I would like to thank the staff for their energy, hard work and support during my tenure. “Their love of the game mirrors Scotland’s passion for football and I am proud to have served the Association.” Chief Operating Officer, Andrew McKinlay, will manage the day to day business during the interim period. SFA president Alan McRae said: “I would like to place on record my thanks and appreciation to Stewart for his commitment to Scottish football. “He has worked tirelessly and has helped drive through a number of improvements to the governance of the game in the country. “The search for a new Chief Executive will begin immediately as we will continue to drive Scottish football forward on and off the pitch.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2173476/sfa-chief-executive-stewart-regan-quits-in-wake-of-scotland-job-fiasco-and-summer-friendlies-row/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
