Forsyth takes over as Scots head coach
“I know the culture and I can instantly identify the diversifications within the culture,” said Forsyth. “Recognition, appreciation and understanding of this engenders trust and respect, which I believe are an important part of the coach’s relationship with his players.”
Glasgow-born Forsyth coached current Scottish champions Glynhill Kelburne off and on from 1991 to 2010 and led the Paisley club to ten division one titles, five Scottish Cups and three European B Championships. On the international front, the former Clydesdale and MIM player was head coach to the Scotland under 21 side between 1991 and 1998 when they came a very creditable fifth in the European Championships on two occasions.
