Sebastien Pocognoli returns to train Scotland

Pocognoli, who left Monaco last June, has called up six new players to join him to face Slovenia in the Nations League B. Among them are Kristi Montgomery and Robbie Ure, two promising young talents.

The Belgian coach relies on the experience of veterans like Andy Robertson and Ryan Christie while integrating new elements to bring renewal to the team. "We have a lot of experience in the team," he said, adding that the mix between experienced players and young talents is beneficial.

Pocognoli also emphasizes the importance of team cohesion: "We need to preserve what makes the strength of the Scotland national team." This cohesion will be put to the test in upcoming matches, including against Switzerland at Hampden Park.

The stated objective is clear: to maintain high competitiveness and aim for a higher ranking in this Nations League B. "We need to try to climb as high as possible to reach the League A," he indicated at a press conference.
