Sacked Martinez Losa ‘immensely proud’ of Scotland journey

“Proud” Pedro Martinez Losa says he leaves with “fond memories” of his Scotland tenure.

The Spaniard, 48, has been sacked after three-and-a-half years in charge, having failed in two attempts to lead the women’s national side to a major finals.

“I am immensely proud of the journey we have undertaken as a group and it has been a privilege to lead the Scotland women’s national team,” told the Scottish FA website.

“Watching young talent flourish alongside our experienced players has been a highlight of my time here.

“I leave with fond memories and gratitude to my squad, backroom staff, and the passionate supporters, who have been unwavering in their backing.

“Scotland will always hold a special place in my heart, and I wish the team every success in the future.”

Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell thanked Martinez Losa for his efforts and noted the national side’s promotion to Nations League A, but said “the primary objective was to qualify for a major tournament again”.
