Pocognoli Still Seeking First Home Win as Scotland Fall to Slovenia

Scotland head coach Sébastien Pocognoli is facing early scrutiny after his side suffered a defeat against Slovenia in the Nations League at Hampden Park. Slovenia came from behind to take all three points, extending Pocognoli’s wait for a first victory on home soil.

The result leaves Pocognoli without a home win four matches into his tenure in charge of the national team.
