A

bout resignation from his duties today (11.01), it was announced by the German coach Berti Vogts, the coach of the Scotland national team, who decided to step down after 31 months of work.

The 58-year-old B. Vogts, whose coached Germany won the 1996 European Championship, named "disgraceful abuse" from a "small minority" of Scottish fans as the main reason for his resignation. Therefore, he decided to step down from his duties, and the Scottish Football Association agreed to the coach's resignation statement.

The German's work in Scotland was particularly criticized after an unsuccessful start to the 2006 World Cup qualifying cycle - in the first three matches against Slovenia, Norway, and Moldova, the Scots were only able to gather two points and significantly complicated their situation.
