Overview
- The Turkish Football Federation has ended its partnership with Vincenzo Montella and confirmed his departure in a brief statement.
- The decision follows poor results that include a World Cup group-stage exit and four consecutive Nations League defeats that produced a 2–11 goal difference.
- Reports say Montella, who was hired in 2023, will receive a severance payment equal to about five months’ salary, reported at roughly €915,000.
- Under Montella the team played 40 matches with 21 wins, five draws and 14 losses and reached the Euro 2024 quarterfinal before qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
- No replacement has been named, fans voiced calls for his resignation during recent matches, and the federation now faces short-term choices about coaching, contract costs and squad direction.
