Sebastien Pocognoli has been confirmed as the new Scotland head coach.
The former Union Saint-Gilloise and Monaco head coach has signed an initial two-year contract to succeed Steve Clarke.
Pocognoli, a former Belgium international, led Union to the 2024-25 Belgian title in his first season as a head coach.
The 39-year-old described his appointment as an “honour” and added on the Scottish Football Association website on Sunday: “When I first heard of the interest, I was immediately excited about the opportunity.
“Scotland’s supporters are famous for their passion – most recently at the World Cup in the USA – and I have experienced it myself as a player for Belgium when we played in 2013.
“Along with my coaching staff, I will do everything I can to give them a team to be proud of and build on the success that has been achieved already by my predecessor.”
