Overview
- Pocognoli has confirmed his coaching team, keeping Alan Irvine and goalkeeping coach Chris Woods while adding Luke Benstead and Cameron Campbell as assistant coaches.
- Pocognoli will name his first Scotland squad on Tuesday before an extended training camp and the Nations League fixtures against Slovenia, Switzerland and North Macedonia.
- Luke Benstead brings seven years working with Belgium plus performance-analysis experience at Manchester United and set-piece responsibility for his new role with Scotland.
- Cameron Campbell joins from Tottenham after roles at RB Leipzig and in Scottish academies and will combine club duties with his Scotland work, which may affect his availability.
- The staff mix is intended to speed tactical and player-development changes under Pocognoli’s two-year remit after Steve Clarke’s departure and leaves only a short window to implement his methods.
