Fans Deem Martinez Losa’s Departure ‘Long Overdue,’ Criticize Scotland’s Performance

Following the dismissal of Pedro Martinez Losa as Scotland’s manager, supporters shared their perspectives on his tenure and offered suggestions for his successor. Hugh stated: “Should have been done sooner. We would have qualified. As for golden generation. No way. We have far better players to pick from.” Ian commented: “It’s about time, he should have left a lot earlier. The manager position should definitely go to Duncan Ferguson.” David M remarked: “They have been absolutely horrible to watch and Martinez Losa should have been let go after the Republic of Ireland game. That game told you he never had a clue on changing games when they were not going your way, tactically inept.” David H expressed: “It was long overdue, he has underperformed and failed to get the best out of probably our best group of players ever. Time for a young female head coach who knows how to get best out of our best players and play with attitude and attack. Maybe Jo Potter or Elena Sadiku, although suspect they’ll go for Leanne Ross which is a backward step, my outside bet is Eileen Gleeson.” Kevin noted: “A long time coming, I said months ago when he was available to go get Scott Booth. Would he leave Aberdeen so soon now though?” Colin hoped: “I sincerely hope the SFA don’t take seven months to find a replacement like they did last time.” Paul suggested: “The people who decided to give him a contract extension should also go. Clear out the SFA dinosaurs.” An anonymous contributor wrote: “We should be appointing guys like Grant Scott and Scott Booth, they both understand Scottish women’s football.” Les advised: “The SFA need to be far more careful when handing out management contracts. This entire affair is going to cost a lot of money that should be used to grow the women’s game.” Desmond concluded: “About time he went. Football has been terrible. There are players who should never be wearing a Scotland jersey.”
