Pocognoli Facetime helps Miller over summer of discontent

Udinese midfielder Lennon Miller endured a turbulent summer after being omitted from Steve Clarke's Scotland squad for the World Cup, prompting his family to rally around him during the difficult period. However, the young talent has successfully turned a corner under newly appointed national team manager Sebastien Pocognoli, who reached out via a personal video call prior to naming his latest squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures.

After finding his footing during his debut campaign in Italy, Miller has earned a recall following regular appearances and increased playing time in Serie A and cup matches this season.
