Berti Vogts insists he will never return to management after his recent experiences as Scotland coach.

The 57-year-old resigned from his position on Monday claiming he suffered unfair abuse from fans and that he was the victim of a media witch-hunt.

The German insists the Scottish Football Association were also at fault for the poor team displays during his two-and-a-half year tenure.

Vogts said: "I am open to anything but I will not return to the dug-out.

"I have had enough of being the scapegoat for mistakes made in Scotland 15 years ago.

"I was trying to build up something new out of the footballing ruins.

"There are hardly any Scots playing in big European leagues. Where should I have picked star players?

"Most journalists and fans live in the past. They have not realised that Scotland is not the footballing nation it used to be."
