Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli says he draws on the influence of iconic manager Louis van Gaal in his own coaching career.

The Belgian worked under the legendary Dutchman during their time at AZ Alkmaar, a special period for Pocognoli during which he won the Eredivisie title in 2009.

Van Gaal also previously took charge of the Netherlands, and now that he has moved into international football himself, the Scotland boss reflected on the 75-year-old's influence.
