Scott Booth (born 16 December 1971) is a Scottish football coach and former player, who is the head coach of Lewes in the Women's Championship. A forward by position, he began his playing career at Aberdeen as a teenager, before moving to Germany in 1997 to play for Borussia Dortmund. After a spell in the Netherlands with FC Twente (as well as loans from Dortmund to FC Utrecht and Vitesse Arnhem), he returned to Aberdeen in 2003, retiring a year later due to injury. After his retirement as a player Booth became a coach, working with the Scotland youth teams. After a year as manager of Stenhousemuir he moved into women's football, becoming manager of Glasgow City. Booth left this position in June 2021 to become manager of FA WSL club Birmingham City, but was sacked five months later. He was appointed by Lewes in May 2022. Club career Aberdeen Born in Aberdeen, Booth started his career at his hometown club Aberdeen, making his debut in 1990 aged 18 and emerging into the team alongside fellow youth graduate Eoin Jess. Booth was part of the Aberdeen side that came close to winning the League title on the final day of the Scottish Premier League in the 1990–91 season, and achieved further league runners-up finishes in 1993 and 1994, plus losing finals in the 1992–93 League Cup and Scottish Cup. He played in every game of the club's Scottish League Cup campaign in 1995 until an injury ruled him out of the final, in which Aberdeen defeated Dundee 2–0. Germany, Netherlands and return In summer 1997, Booth left Pittodrie for a surprise move to Borussia Dortmund in Germany under the Bosman ruling. The success of fellow Scot Paul Lambert was perhaps one of the reasons behind the move; nevertheless, he never really got an extended run with the then-European champions after the coach who brought him in – Ottmar Hitzfeld – moved to another role at the club, although he got a brief taste of Champions League football alongside the likes of Andreas Möller and Matthias Sammer, scoring against Sparta Prague. He is also notable for being the first Scot to win the Intercontinental Cup (albeit as an unused substitute in the match against Cruzeiro). Booth moved on loan to Dutch club FC Utrecht in 1998, seeking more playing time to secure his place in the Scotland squad for the 1998
