Vincenzo Montella, Turkey
Monday
Turkey’s football federation has backed Vincenzo Montella despite the national team’s early World Cup elimination in North America. Defeats to Australia and Paraguay ended Turkey’s knockout hopes before their final group match against the United States.
TFF president Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu said the federation will stand by Montella and the players, arguing continuity matters more than another reset. Turkey will now use the USA match as damage control before turning toward Euro 2028.
