Pocognoli to lead Scotland in first game against Slovenia

New Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli will take charge of his first match on Saturday against Slovenia, featuring eight uncapped players in his initial squad.

  • Sebastien Pocognoli will manage his first game as Scotland head coach on Saturday against Slovenia.
  • Pocognoli's first squad includes eight uncapped players.
  • Captain Andy Robertson is expected to earn his 98th cap at left wing-back.

Sebastien Pocognoli is set to make his debut as Scotland men's head coach this Saturday when his side faces Slovenia in a Nations League match in Ljubljana. The game will be broadcast live on the BBC.

The Belgian coach's first squad features eight uncapped players, with Findlay Curtis and James Wilson released to the under-21s. This makes the team's line-up and approach for the upcoming match unpredictable.

Pocognoli, who previously managed Union Saint-Gilloise and Monaco, often favoured a 3-4-2-1 formation. This suggests Scotland will likely play with three centre-backs, with Jack Hendry and Scott McKenna appearing to be probable starters. Captain Andy Robertson is expected to earn his 98th cap at left wing-back.
