She leaves her job with Australia, although there is no permanent coach in his place after the departure of Tony Gustagon after the Olympic Games last year in Paris, where the team was eliminated in the group stage.

She said: “With my wide training, talent development and the main championship experience, my goal is to support players and employees to reach their fullest potential.” “The ambition is to restore Scotland to a fixed qualification and with the team in a period of transition, this is the ideal opportunity to start building towards this future.”
Scotland appeared only once in the Women’s World Cup – in 2019.
Ian Maxwell, CEO of Scotland, said his last shorter list included candidates from three different continents.
“Melissa presented a large group of different experiences on all levels of women’s game in Australia,” Maxwell said. “It is an important member of the Matildas Training Team, but it also bears responsibility for developing elite youth players within a respectable performance system.”
