Scotland manager search under way

Scotland have been without a manager since losing to Wales last month

The Scottish FA has formally begun its search for a new national manager at its monthly board meeting.

Thursday morning's gathering at Hampden was the first opportunity to discuss replacing George Burley, who was sacked last month.

Chief executive Gordon Smith has repeatedly stressed that the process will take time.

The target is to have a new manager in place before February's draw for Euro 2012 qualifying.

Dundee United's Craig Levein remains the bookies' favourite to replace Burley, who lasted 22 months in the job and oversaw a miserable World Cup qualifying campaign.

Levein has been reluctant to discuss the vacancy but others have publicly declared an interest in leading Scotland.

Out-of-work pair John Collins and Jimmy Calderwood have said they would welcome the challenge, while foreign coaches Csaba Laszlo and Dan Petrescu have also said that the post appeals.

Rangers' Walter Smith has ruled out a second stint in charge and Graeme Souness insists he has no desire to return to management at any level.
