Vogts reveals Strachan move


Gordon Strachan plans a break from football
Scotland manager Berti Vogts has revealed that he made an approach to Gordon Strachan to be his successor.
Strachan, who left Southampton earlier this month, has rejected the chance to join the Scotland coaching staff.

But Vogts hopes to persuade him to rethink the situation after a break from the game.

"He isn't interested in football at the moment but I suggested to him if he got back at this level he could take over from me in 2006," said Vogts.

The former Aberdeen and Manchester United player is the man many of the Tartan Army want to see in charge right now following Wednesday night's 4-0 thrashing in Wales.


But Vogts' offer was to join the coaching staff after a summer hip operation with a view to taking over after the next World Cup finals.

"I will have another talk with Gordon after his operation.

"I spoke to him three or four weeks ago and he said then he only wanted to work with younger players.

"I thought that would be perfect - he could work with our under-16s, under-17s and under-19s."

Whether Vogts survives until then remains to be seen as the Scots have let in 10 goals without reply in their last two games.

A BBC Scotland poll found that 65% of football fans had no confidence in the national manager.

And the German admitted he had been contemplating heeding the flood of calls for him to step down.

He said: "Yes, I was thinking about those things and in certain moments I have doubted myself.

"But I love working here. This is not just a job for me, this is a mission.

"When I go back to Germany in 2006 I hope the house is built for the future of Scottish football.

"It's a hard job, maybe the hardest I have ever known."

I think you may be right about him not caring Sid,it's not everyday someone asks another person to replace them,at least if they're not retiring.Could have your wish about Strachan though.
