Pedro Martínez Losa Dismissed as Scotland Women’s National Team Coach
The Scottish FA has officially confirmed that Pedro Martínez Losa has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the women’s national team. This decision follows the team’s inability to secure a spot in next summer’s European Championship after being eliminated by Finland with a 2-0 aggregate score in the playoffs.
Achievements and Departure
Martínez Losa’s tenure lasted three and a half years, during which he played a crucial role in guiding Scotland to promotion to Nations League Group A. However, despite these accomplishments, the need for a new direction has prompted the FA to seek another leader for the upcoming fixtures against Germany, Netherlands, and Austria next year.
Timing of the Decision
This dismissal comes as a surprise, especially considering that just three months prior, Losa had been offered an extension that would have kept him in charge until 2027. The Scottish FA’s commitment to advancing women’s football remains strong, as they look to prioritize the team’s future successes.
