The Scottish FA can confirm that Pedro Martinez Losa has left his role as Scotland Women’s National Team Head Coach.
The decision was taken following the SWNT’s failure to qualify for the 2025 UEFA Women’s EURO, losing 2-0 to Finland in the Play Off Final second leg after a goalless first-leg at Easter Road.
Pedro joined in July 2021 and oversaw a transitional period for the SWNT, which has included promotion back to UEFA Nations League Group A.
None the less, the board feels change is required prior to the fixtures against Austria, Germany and Netherlands, and in preparation for 2027 FIFA World Cup qualifying. The recruitment process will begin immediately.
Ian Maxwell, Scottish FA Chief Executive: “I would like to thank Pedro for his efforts over the past three and a half years. While we shouldn’t lose sight of the recent unbeaten run, and winning promotion from Nations League Group B, the primary objective was to qualify for a major tournament again.”
Pedro Martinez Losa: “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. 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.”
