Alex McLeish should QUIT Scotland job if its affecting his health, says ‘concerned’ Ally McCoist on talkSPORT
Alex McLeish has been told the Scotland job is not worth it and should QUIT if his health is being affected by the current turmoil in the team.Scotland legend and talkSPORT host Ally McCoist was reacting to reports McLeish is set to be axed, amid growing concerns he is struggling to cope with the stress and pressure of attempting to lead Scotland to a first major tournament in 22 years.According to the Daily Record, the 60-year-old suffered a deeply troubling episode before Sundays narrow victory over San Marino, which prompted SFA bosses to consider his position in the role.2

It has not been a good international break for Scottish football

Scotland suffered a disastrous start to their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign with a 3-0 defeat to Kazakhstan, which McCoist branded one of the nations worst results in their football history.They followed that up with a 2-0 victory over San Marino, but fans still booed McLeish at the final whistle after an unconvincing performance against the worst team in international football.And McCoist has spoken of his fears for his friend and former team-mate, insisting it is right he steps down if the job is putting his health at risk.Speaking on Thursdays Sports Breakfast, the ex-Rangers striker said:We all know the manager takes the responsibility. He picks the side, so big Alec will get it in the neck for that and rightly so. It comes with the territory.But where Im at with the big fella is, Im reading the report in the Daily Record which hinted at a few health issues.So I dont care, Im by the Kazakhstan thing and Im by the San Marino thing, I know this fella, I played with him and he was first pick for the national team. He was everything to Scotland, thats what he wanted to do.2

Ally McCoist is concerned by the reports about his friend Alex ‘Big Eck’ McLeish

But if this a little bit more serious than a shocking result and its affecting his health, then its absolutely 100 per cent not worth it.There is nothing more important than your health. Hes got his family to think about.I dont even know [if its true], Im just reading that report and its concerned me a little bit. If its affecting his health, than get back out and enjoy your family, big fella. Asked if he would consider a potential return to management to replace McLeish, if his friend did leave his post, McCoist added: I cant see that happening to be honest with you.There would be a lot more obvious choices Steve Clarke and boys like that, I know they went for Michael O’Neill and he let them down.It would be anyones dream to manage their country, but there are a lot more candidates in front of me in the queue.”

"If the job is affecting his health then it is absolutely not worth it.""It would be a dream to manage Scotland but there's plenty of people ahead of me in the queue."Ally McCoist reacts to news Alex McLeish is set to be sacked as Scotland boss over health concerns. pic.twitter.com/qfqTBxncwJ— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) March 28, 2019
