Scala interested in Scotland job

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.
