Sebastien Pocognoli's working-class roots and charismatic personality will quickly endear him to the Tartan Army, predicts Belgian football expert Scott Coyne.
The former Monaco and Union Saint-Gilloise head coach has been named just the second foreign boss of the Scotland men's national team, replacing Steve Clarke.
However, Scottish podcaster Coyne expects 'Poco' to "click quite quickly" with a passionate support with his "very intense" but "very approachable" character.
"He comes from a working-class background just outside Liege, to an Italian family who were immigrants to Belgium," Coyne said on BBC Radio Scotland.
"Just like there are a lot of Scots Italians, there are a lot of Belgian Italians. There are a lot of cultural commonalities there that I think will help him quickly.
