Michelle "Shelley" Kerr , MBE (born October 15, 1969 in Broxburn ) is a former Scottish soccer player and current coach. She has been the coach of the Scottish women's national football team since 2017 .

Career

society

Kerr started playing soccer at school. In the summer of 2002, she moved to the start of the Scottish Women's Premier League to the Kilmarnock Ladies, who had won the title in the previous season of the Scottish Women's Football League . On September 25, 2002, she played her first game in the UEFA Women's Cup for Kilmarnock . The Scottish women dropped out as third. The first season of the Premier League finished Kilmarnock as champions, which did not succeed after that. In January 2005, she and her teammate Nicky Grant moved south to the Doncaster Rovers Belles . In her first season, she was able to help in four games with a goal that the Belles avoided relegation as eight. In 2005/06 she had 13 missions and the Belles were able to improve to fourth place. 2006/07 the Belles fell back in the lower table regions. Kerr left the Belles after three seasons and returned to Scotland, where she won the Cup final as captain with Hibernian Edinburgh in May 2008.

National team

Kerr first played on April 30, 1989 for the Scottish national football team . Due to a nine-year hiatus during which she became a mother, she only made 59 internationals. She played her last two international matches in October 2008 against Russia as captain at the age of 39 in the playoff games of the 2009 European Championship qualification . The Scottish women qualified for this round as the second best group third, the Russians as second group. After a 3-2 home defeat in Edinburgh , the Scottish women won the second leg in Nalchik 2-1, but were eliminated due to the away goals rule . Kerr, who had already resigned after the Cyprus Cup in 2007 and was then persuaded to make a comeback, finally ended her national team career.

trainer

During her time as a player at FC Kilmarnock , she took on the role of coach after the previous coach left the club. She also worked as a player-coach during her time at Hibernian and Spartans. In 2009 she became "Technical and Development Program Manager for Girls and Women's Football" at the Scottish Federation and coach of the U-19 team. This led them to the U-19 European Women's Football Championship in 2010 , where the Scottish women were eliminated with one draw and two defeats after the group stage. Due to increasing obligations for the association, she gave up her work at Spartans in 2010.

In March 2013 she became the coach of Arsenal Women FC and won the League Cup in 2013 and the Cup in 2012/13 and 2013/14 with the Gunners . After winning the Cup in June 2014, she left London and returned to Scotland. In August 2014, she became the University of Stirling men's team coach , making her the UK's first men's team coach . She led the team to the final of the BUCS Football League.

In April 2017 it was announced that she would succeed Anna Signeul as coach of the women's national team after the 2017 European Championship. Signeul had coached the Scottish women since 2005, led them to their first European Championship participation in 2017 and then announced that she would stop as Scottish national coach after the European Championships.

Kerr's first game as national coach was won 3-0 against Hungary on September 14, 2017 . Qualification for the 2019 World Cup began a month later . The Scottish women started with two wins against Belarus and Albania , but then lost to Switzerland for the first time in April . Then both won their games until they met again. The Scottish women won the second leg 2-1, but needed a win and Polish help against Switzerland in the last game in Albania . Since the Swiss only got a goalless draw in Poland, a 2-1 win in Albania was enough for the Scottish women to qualify for a World Cup finals for the first time, where they will meet England in their first game, as in the European Championship.

On May 15, 2019, she named the first Scottish women's World Cup squad . At the World Cup, the first two games against England and Japan were lost 2-1. In the last group game against Argentina , the Scottish women led 3-0 after 69 minutes, but then had to accept three goals, including the decisive goal to 3: 3 in the fourth minute of stoppage time, and were eliminated.
