Former Monaco head coach Sebastien Pocognoli is identified as the frontrunner for the Scotland men’s national team job, according to multiple reports.

The Scottish FA is said to have identified Pocognoli as its prime candidate to replace Steve Clarke. Sky Sports and the BBC describe him as the leading choice, while Yahoo Sports similarly reports that he is viewed as the top option for the role.

Across the outlets, the core focus is the same: Pocognoli’s candidacy and his status as the leading replacement candidate. The reports do not, in the material provided, detail the timeline for the appointment, the status of ongoing discussions with other candidates, or any additional conditions or negotiations. The information is presented as an assessment by or through the Scottish FA rather than as a confirmed hiring decision.
