'''Scott Booth''' (born 16 December 1971) is a Scottish [[Association football|football]] coach and former player, who is the head coach of [[Aberdeen F.C. Women|Aberdeen Women]] in the [[Scottish Women's Premier League|Scottish Women's Premier League 1]].

A [[Forward (association football)|forward]] by position, he began his playing career at [[Aberdeen F.C.|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 [[SBV Vitesse|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 F.C.|Stenhousemuir]] he moved into women's football, becoming manager of [[Glasgow City F.C.|Glasgow City]]. Booth left this position in June 2021 to become manager of [[FA WSL]] club [[Birmingham City W.F.C.|Birmingham City]], but was sacked five months later. He was appointed by Lewes in May 2022.

He thereafter left Borussia Dortmund permanently, returning to the Netherlands to sign with [[FC Twente]] for a fee equivalent to £400,000.
