Scotland call for Sevilla forward Robbie Ure in post-World Cup reset under new coach Pocognoli
GLASGOW (SCOTLAND): (Sep 15) (AP) A transfer to Spain and change of Scotland coach finally earned Sevilla striker Robbie Ure a first international call Tuesday in a reset after a disappointing World Cup where the Tartan Army of fans far outperformed the team.
Scotland’s new coach Sébastien Pocognoli made the 22-year-old Ure the standout inclusion among sweeping changes for four games in a second-tier Nations League group where World Cup quarterfinalist Switzerland starts favorite.
Half of Pocognoli’s 28-player squad was not involved in a group-stage exit at the World Cup that pushed coach Steve Clarke to leave despite signing a four-year contract extension days before traveling to the United States.
