Pocognoli Facetime helps Miller over summer of discontent
Lennon Miller was Facetimed by new Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli as he returns to the international fold.
Liverpool is thousands of miles away from both Boston and Miami, with Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium located far from the New England Patriots' home. On a chilly evening in March, midfielder Lennon Miller found himself part of Steve Clarke's squad as they prepared to face Japan and the Ivory Coast in friendly matches. Despite the desire for new faces, Miller did not feature in any of those matches.
His father, Lee, expressed the difficulty of the summer, stating that there was no escaping the fact that Miller was not picked for the World Cup. The family did their best to support him, offering encouragement and wisdom. As the Clarke regime came to an end and Sebastien Pocognoli took over, Miller was once again called up to the Scotland squad.
The 20-year-old, who has been with Udinese for two seasons, has been finding consistency in his performances, featuring in all five Serie A games and starting in the past two. His father believes he is developing well and that his new head coach has given him a positive outlook.
