Scot Gemmill will depart from the role of Scotland Under-21 head coach after 13 years, the Scottish FA have announced.<\/b><\/p>\n
Former Scotland midfielder Gemmill, 55, previously coached the nation’s under-17s, was unable to get the under-21s to a European Championship but did seal fourth place at the Toulon Tournament in 2018.<\/p>\n
Gemmill played his club football predominantly in England with spells at Nottingham Forest, Everton, Preson North End, Leicester City and Oxford United before a year at New Zealand Knights.<\/p>\n
SFA chief football officer Craig Mulholland said: “On behalf of the Scottish FA, I’d like to thank Scot for his many years of dedicated service to the game in this country.<\/p>\n
“He is held in the highest esteem by those who have worked alongside him, and I know that respect extends to the countless young players who have played under him at the various age levels.<\/p>\n
“As a player and coach Scot has represented Scotland with distinction and I know that means a lot to him. We wish him well in his next opportunity.”<\/p>\n
Scotland Under-21s’ next fixtures are in the autumn against Azerbaijan (home) on 30 September and Bulgaria (away) on 6 October in European Championship qualifying.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
