Turkey sacks head coach Vincenzo Montella after Nations League losses
Summary

The national team lost all four matches during the international break, suffering defeats to Italy (4-1 and 3-1), Belgium (3-0), and France (1-0). Montella faced increasing pressure after Turkey's early exit in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. His departure follows a disappointing run that included no victories during this competition. The Turkish football association will begin the search for a new coach.
