Scotland's hunt for a new head coach continues after Ange Postecoglou turned down the role. The Australian coach has joined Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, just days after being installed as the favourite to take the head coach role with Scotland.

What happened?

Postecoglou's appointment at Al-Nassr comes as a surprise, given his previous experience with the Socceroos and his success in Scottish football with Celtic.

Why it matters for Scotland

Scotland are looking for a new head coach for the first time in seven years, following Steve Clarke's decision to stand down after the Scots failed to reach the knockout stage of the World Cup.

What comes next?

Other early candidates for the Scotland job include Everton boss David Moyes and Millwall's Alex Neil.
