生平

早年

麥克萊什在苏格兰格拉斯哥的杜克街医院（Duke Street Hospital）出生，父亲老阿历斯（Alex）是一名船厂工人，母亲名为珍（Jean） ，家里还有两名弟妹安琪拉（Angela）和伊安（Ian）。曾分别居于格拉斯哥的柏克黑德（Parkhead）和坚宁公园（Kinning Park），但于麥克萊什达到上学年龄后不久举家迁移到伦弗鲁郡（Renfrewshire）的巴尔黑德（Barrhead）定居。他就读于斯普林希尔小学（Springhill Primary）和巴尔黑德高中（Barrhead High School），其后转到佩斯利的约翰·尼尔森高中（John Neilson High School） 。

少年时期麥克萊什代表巴尔黑德青年会（Barrhead Youth Club）和格拉斯哥联（Glasgow United）上场，亦曾短时间在咸美顿接受训练。1976年麥克萊什为格拉斯哥联在一场地区杯赛决赛上场，包括阿伯丁时任主教练艾利·麦李欧德（Ally MacLeod）在内的代表团到场观战，翌日麥克萊什便签约正式加盟阿伯丁 。

俱乐部

麥克萊什加盟阿伯丁后的首两个赛季大部分时间在预备队参赛，并曾外借到地区初级球队刘易斯联（Lewis United）。他在比利·麦克尼尔（Billy McNeill）麾下首次为一队上场是于1978年1月2日的新年档期对邓迪联 ；而他的首场主要决赛是在亚历克斯·弗格森任内于1978/79年度苏格兰联赛杯以1-2负于流浪者中后补登场。但其后的7个赛季麥克萊什取得重大的成就，分别赢得8个本土及2个欧洲锦标。职业生涯亮点包括为“导师”（Dons）上场第200场于1982年苏格兰足协杯决赛以4-1击败流浪者中取得进球，及在1983年的欧洲优胜者杯决赛击败皇家马德里夺标 。

During this period, McLeish formed a formidable defensive triumvirate with 威利·米勒（Willie Miller） and 吉姆·礼顿（Jim Leighton） for both club and country. When Ferguson left in 1986 to go to曼联, he tried to get McLeish to sign, but it did not work out; he also had talks with热刺. 他在1990年赢得苏格兰FWA足球先生, after a season in which Aberdeen won both domestic cups. He was captain of Aberdeen after the retirement of Willie Miller.

Even after he had won his first苏格兰cap, McLeish"s father asked then Aberdeen boss亚历克斯·弗格森to persuade him to continue training as an会计师.

国家队

麥克萊什是代表苏格兰历史以来拥有出场次数最多排名第三位，由1980年开始至1993年期间总共77场。 He was first capped for the苏格兰U21team while still a reserve player at Aberdeen by his former club manager Ally MacLeod, eventually gaining six caps at that level. His full international debut came on 26 March 1980 against葡萄牙, manager乔克·斯泰恩playing him in midfield alongside 阿奇·格米尔（Archie Gemmill） and格雷姆·索内斯. He played in three世界杯with苏格兰, in1982年,1986年and1990年. He is a member of both the苏格兰足球名人堂and the苏格兰足球国际赛代表荣誉榜. On the occasion of his 50th cap, against卢森堡in 1987, McLeish was appointed team captain for the game. His final cap came on 17 February 1993 in a 3–0 win over马耳他at咸普顿公园球场during the1994年世界杯qualifiers. He never scored in his 77 appearances for Scotland.

主教练

After his successful playing career he quickly went into football管理with马瑟韦尔in 1994, one year before he retired as a player. His first season at Motherwell saw him take the 拉纳克郡（Lanarkshire） club to second in the Premier Division behind沃尔特·史密斯"s流浪者. However, he failed to build on this success and the next two season were spent in relegation battles. He resigned as manager to take over at希伯尼安in 1998.

McLeish took over a struggling Hibernian side, which was relegated from the苏格兰足球联赛超级联赛in 1998 despite a slight upturn in fortunes under McLeish. He then guided the爱丁堡team back to the苏超at the first attempt by winning the苏甲championship.

Hibernian consolidated in their first season back in the top division, finishing mid-table and reaching the苏格兰足协杯semi-final. In the 2000–01 season, Hibs started very strongly. Eventually they had to settle for third place and a Scottish Cup final appearance. This performance attracted the attention of bigger clubs, including西汉姆联and 流浪者.

McLeish attracted top players such as 拉塞尔·拉塔皮（Russell Latapy） and former法国国脚弗兰克·索济（Franck Sauzée） to Hibs. He also helped develop young striker肯尼·米勒（Kenny Miller）, who would later go on to play for Scotland.

During this period McLeish worked towards and was awarded a 欧洲足联专业牌照（UEFA Pro Licence）.

His work at Hibs was noticed, and he was linked with several moves to England, before he was appointed as流浪者manager in December 2001 after outgoing Rangers manager迪克·艾德沃卡特recommended McLeish to chairman 大卫·穆雷（David Murray）.

McLeish was an instant success at Rangers, winning both the苏格兰足协杯 and苏格兰联赛杯 in his first season, but the big prize of the league title was essentially lost before his arrival. His second season saw him go one better when he won the domestic treble, with the help of players such as罗纳德·德波尔and巴利·弗格森.

Rangers" worsening financial state saw many of his top players leave in the summer of 2003. Celtic won the league comfortably in season 2003–04, and Rangers failed to win any trophies. McLeish was consequently put under pressure from fans after his poor signings and a record run of seven consecutive derby losses to Celtic.

The high profile波士文法案signings of让-阿兰·布姆松and达多·普尔绍in the close season of 2004–05 gave Rangers renewed hope of regaining the title from Celtic"s grasp. McLeish"s team won the 2005 league title on a dramatic last day, an outcome that had looked highly unlikely after Rangers fell five points behind leaders Celtic with just four games remaining.

After this unexpected success, McLeish and his Rangers team headed into the2005/06年赛季SPL campaign as favourites to retain the championship. McLeish made a number of signings, including 朱利安·罗德里格斯（Julien Rodriguez） and 伊恩·穆雷（Ian Murray）, despite having little money to spend. After a reasonable start to the season, including a win over Celtic, Rangers suffered a series of poor results between September and November. This period included a club record of 10 games without a win. However the tenth match of this run, a 1–1 draw with国际米兰in the欧洲冠军联赛, took Rangers into the knockout stages of the tournament for the first time.

Despite the poor domestic form, McLeish guided Rangers to the last 16 of the Champions League, where they were defeated on the客场进球制度制by维拉利尔. They became the first Scottish team to progress this far in the European Cup since 1993, and the first Scottish team to progress through a European group stage. In December, chairman David Murray publicly announced his support for McLeish. Rangers then went on a good run of results in December and January.

This run of good results came to a sudden halt when they were defeated 3–0 by Hibernian in the Scottish Cup, prompting protests outside Ibrox against both McLeish and David Murray. On 9 February 2006, it was announced by chairman David Murray that McLeish would be standing down as manager at the end of that season.

It was later announced that he would be succeeded by former里昂manager 保罗·勒冈（Paul Le Guen）. Rangers beat哈茨2–0 at埃布罗克斯球场in his final match as manager.

McLeish said after leaving Rangers that he would not manage another Scottish club, because he felt that he had achieved everything in the Scottish game. He was linked in the media with a number of managerial positions in England while he worked as a television pundit for the英国广播公司and 塞坦塔体育频道（Setanta Sports）.

McLeish took charge of the苏格兰国家队on 29 January 2007. His assistants in the job were 罗伊·艾特肯（Roy Aitken） and 安迪·沃森（Andy Watson）.

McLeish"s first game in charge of the national team was a2008年欧洲足球锦标赛外围赛match, a 2–1 victory against格鲁吉亚on 24 March 2007 at咸普顿公园球场. His second game was an away fixture against意大利on 28 March 2007 which ended in a 2–0 defeat.

McLeish"s Scotland side then went on to defeat the法罗群岛away in June, 立陶宛at home in September before recording a historic victory in巴黎four days later by defeating法国1–0 in the王子公园体育场. 詹姆斯·麦克法登（James McFadden）"s 64th-minute strike from 30 yards was enough to earn Scotland the win and returned them to the top of Group B with three games to play. This result has been hailed as one of the Scotland national team"s greatest victories. Scotland"s next success was at home to乌克兰, winning 3–1 at Hampden on 13 October. McLeish suffered his second defeat as manager, away in Georgia on 17 October. This result left him facing a decider against the World Champions, Italy. Scotland lost the game, McLeish"s last, and Italy qualified for the finals.

  执教伯明翰城时的麥克萊什

2007年11月27日，苏格兰足球协会发出声明拒绝英格兰足球超级联赛俱乐部伯明翰城向其提出要求准许接触麥克萊什商讨接任主教练之要求 但同日麥克萊什于出席完于南非举行之2010年世界杯预选赛抽签仪式返回苏格兰后就向苏格兰足球协会辞任苏格兰国家队主教练 。翌日，伯明翰城宣布麥克萊什为新任主教练并签约三年半，他于苏格兰国家队的助手Roy Aitken及Andy Watson会一并加盟。麥克萊什称他一直希望能每日和球员一起工作及能于英超俱乐部担任管理，能有此挑战他感到很兴奋 。

He enjoyed a positive managerial debut with Birmingham, winning 3–2 away to热刺. In the January 2008转会窗, McLeish strengthened Birmingham"s squad, buying大卫·墨菲and 詹姆斯·麦克法登（James McFadden） and signing 阿根廷U20小国脚毛罗·萨拉特on loan, while generating funds by allowing fringe players to leave. He was unable to save Birmingham from relegation, despite the team recording an impressive 4–1 victory over布莱克本流浪者on the last day of the season.

McLeish changed the club"s backroom staff and training procedures, appointed大卫·沃森as goalkeeping coach, and overhauled the scouting setup, bringing in 保罗·蒙哥马利（Paul Montgomery） – the scout who recommended a relatively unknown迪迪埃·德罗巴to西汉姆联– to oversee player recruitment.

On the final day of the 2008–09 season, McLeish secured Birmingham"s return to the top flight of English football at the first attempt with a 2–1 away victory over雷丁. By mid-January 2010, he had guided them to a 12-game unbeaten run, a club record in the top division, set a Premier League record by selecting the same starting eleven for nine consecutive games, and been named “英超每月最佳主教练”for December 2009, the first Birmingham manager to receive the award. By the end of the season McLeish had led Birmingham to ninth place, their highest finish for more than 50 years.

Following Birmingham"s success during the 2009–10 season, McLeish agreed a new three-year deal with the club in September 2010. In February 2011, McLeish led Birmingham to victory in the联赛杯, defeating favourites阿森纳2–1 in决赛at温布利球场in what he described as "relatively speaking, ... [his] greatest achievement". However, a poor run of form followed the League Cup win, and Birmingham were relegated to the英格兰足球冠军联赛on the last day of the 2010–11 season. 2011年5月23日，伯明翰城代理主席称麥克萊什会继续担任主教练职位，最重要任务是下一赛季能取得返回英超资格 。2011年6月12日，伯明翰城证实麥克萊什以电邮形式向俱乐部请辞 。

2011年6月17日，刚辞职伯明翰城主教练5天后，同市球队阿斯顿维拉任命麥克萊什为主教练并签约三年即时生效 。 There was much controversy surrounding his appointment as Birmingham City claimed McLeish was still under contract and filed a complaint against Aston Villa to the Premier League while Villa claimed McLeish was a free agent. 阿斯顿维拉球迷于正式任命麥克萊什为主教练前一日在维拉公园球场外进行及涂鸦，之后一些反对麥克萊什涂鸦被抺掉 。 麥克萊什首名签进球员为于曼城不被重用守门员沙伊·吉文并签约五年 , 接着以950万英镑购入维甘竞技法国籍边锋查尔斯·恩佐比亚签约五年 。 麥克萊什首场带领阿斯顿维拉的正式比赛为英超作客卡云农舍球场对富勒姆，最终以0–0握手言和 。之后第二轮英超主场对布莱克本流浪者比赛以3–1 胜出，为麥克萊什带来首场胜利。但接着四场英超比赛都是和局收场。到第七轮英超主场对维甘竞技以 3–1 胜出 。 但在第八轮英超作客曼城时被1–4撃败，结朿当季不败纪录。 麥克萊什于2011年大除夕当日英超作客切尔西并以3–1 反胜可称为当季代表作。2013年1月12日美职联洛杉矶银河同意将罗比·基恩借用至阿斯顿维拉到2月25日 。而罗比·基恩于2012年1月21日英超保级大战作客伍尔弗汉普顿流浪时于连入两球令阿斯顿维拉反胜3–2。麥克萊什所带领之维拉于2011/12年英超赛季排名第16位，比降级俱乐部只多两分及创出全季只得四场主场胜出比赛之最差纪录 。 2012年5月14日阿斯顿维拉宣布由于成绩差及表现未如理想即时辞退主教练麥克萊什 。 麥克萊什至今仍保持阿斯顿维拉历任主教练历史上得胜率最差主教练，只得21.4%。

麥克萊什于2012年12月27日就任英冠俱乐部诺丁汉森林新主教练 。

2013年2月5日，麥克萊什上任主教练40天后因成绩欠佳，与经双方同意，离职诺丁汉森林。在任期间比赛7场(6场联赛、1场足协杯)，只取得1胜2和4负成绩 。
