New Scotland boss Sebastien Pocognoli has urged the Tartan Army to get behind him and embrace the change he will bring to the national team.But the Belgian insisted it will be a case of evolution – rather than revolution – as he seeks to build on the foundations left behind by Steve Clarke.Pocognoli was formally unveiled at Hampden today, signing a two-year deal to become the successor to Clarke, who resigned after the World Cup earlier this summer.The 39-year-old becomes Scotland’s first foreign head coach since the ill-fated reign of Berti Vogts over 20 years ago.The former Union Saint-Gilloise and Monaco boss admitted that he held initial concerns about how he would be received by supporters.But those fears were allayed after discussion with SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell and chief football officer Craig Mulholland, both of whom led the recruitment process. Sebastien Pocognoli believes his passion for attacking football will go down well with fans Pocognoli is confident Scotland as a nation is ready to embrace change, especially in the style of play, and he feels his passion for attack-minded football will strike a connection with fans.’It is a long time since Scotland had a foreign manager,’ he said. ‘Sometimes a national team goes for a coach from that country.’It means they can identify closely with the side. But I think it is all about your personality and how you deal with the challenge at the end of the day. I will be one of you and try to achieve the best I can.’It is a trap to want to change too much. It is impossible to change too much.’First of all, because the inheritance I get is very strong. They have brought Scotland back to the map and that has been the case for many years.’The team are experienced. We have players who win titles in this group. It is massive to use this.’But yes, if you want to continue, you also have to bring in new players and give them a chance.’But also find the right balance to be successful and develop some young players.’The key is finding the right balance and making good choices for the qualifiers.’I had some questions because I never go through a challenge without ticking all the boxes, if I have a question-mark.’For me, one of the question-marks was the fact I am a Belgian coach. Will the country embrace this?’If I don’t think about that, I would be an egotist and I am not like that. I got very positive feedback that the country maybe needs something different.’In a very humble way, I asked the question. For me that was the main question. SFA chief football officer Craig Mulholland and chief executive Ian Maxwell led the process’With tactics I wanted to see, and if the squad can play like I want to play, I got some positive answers.’Where I come from, the passion for football is massive. Maybe it is my [part] Italian blood.’I was born with a ball at my feet. I am a passionate person and I think Scotland as a country is also very passionate.’Regarding the strong foundation that Steve Clarke and his staff laid, I think 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.’Pocognoli, who won a league title with USG in Belgium, brushed off any concerns that some may view him as being too young and inexperienced for international management.’For me it is not important because you can do well as an experienced coach or a young coach,’ he said.’When I joined Union I was very young and nobody expected me to take over. But we did very well.’Yes, I am a young international coach, but I am very excited and full of energy. I will try to fix what I can fix and hope I can make a difference.’Pocognoli’s first matches in charge will come against Slovenia and Switzerland when the Nations League gets under way next month.The Belgian confirmed that he is yet to decide on the make-up of his backroom team, but is keen to have at least one Scot on the coaching staff.’I have spoken to Andy [Robertson], the captain,’ he added. ‘It was very important to do that.’We had a very informal conversation. It was very positive. Andy is a very passionate captain who is proud to represent his country. Pocognoli says he’s had a ‘very positive’ conversation with Scotland captain Andy Robertson’He will play with integrity as he has done for years. It is very important for me that I have that kind of captain around me.’I hope that I can give him the chance to do it more and enjoy the sort of success he did before. As the weeks go on, step by step, I will create a relationship with the players.’In terms of having someone Scottish in my staff, yes, 100 per cent. To come here and just do my thing on my own wouldn’t work.’At my first job at Union I arrived without any staff. It was like just jumping in the swimming pool [in the deep end].’I had all the people around me and I tried to embrace them and convince them because you are always tested by people and it is challenging. It worked.’In Monaco, I went with only two guys with me. You have to embrace the culture and I will do the same here.’
