abstract:Largs () is a town on the Firth of Clyde in North Ayrshire, about from Glasgow. The original name means "the slopes" (An Leargaidh) in Scottish Gaelic.
Another major factor in the development of Scottish coaches and managers has been the rise in prominence of the Scottish national training center in Largs, on the Ayrshire coast.
McGhee was another coach who spent time at the Largs training center, and he too believes the skills he learned there went some way to his success as a coach.
