The former England and Scotland boss was appointed as the new head coach of Romania in 2020.

He coached Scotland for three years from 2009, taking up the post after a successful spell in charge of Edinburgh which had also seen him work with Scotland A. He resigned in late 2012 after a defeat by Tonga in Aberdeen.
