| 1. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 17th Aug 2026. 14:18 Now that he has been confirmed as the new head coach of Scotland and met the media today he probably merits a thread of his own. "I`m very proud to be here," Pocognoli said, flanked by Scottish Football Association (SFA) chiefs Ian Maxwell and Craig Mulholland at his introduction. "It`s a very strong challenge, with a project to develop the future of Scottish football. There are the metrics, but the human aspect was also very important. I never go to a challenge where I can`t feel the connection. "Scotland is a passionate country and I think also, regarding the strong foundation that Steve Clarke and his staff laid, that I can use this heritage to put the next accent on the style of play while also developing players for the future. "That`s why I`m here." Reply |

Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Mon 17th Aug 2026. 14:57 I really hope the nations league games are treated as a reason to try different systems/players etc and the focus isn’t put on the results. Bertie was put under immediate pressure when he really should have been given two or 3 years to get the squad he had to restart basically from scratch. I hope this guy gets the time to put his philosophy into action. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |

He has a long run of nations league games to get his squad sorted. Stevie’s squad was coming to a natural end regardless if he had stayed. Both would have needed a huge rebuild.
