Vincenzo Montella remains coach despite Turkiye's World Cup struggles

Summary

Turkish Football Federation President Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu confirmed that coach Vincenzo Montella will not resign following Turkiye's disappointing start at the 2026 World Cup. Turkiye lost their opening match 2-0 to Australia and fell 1-0 to Paraguay, who played with ten men in the second half. These results eliminated the team from further competition, rendering their final group game against the USA meaningless. Haciosmanoglu emphasized the need to support both the young players and Montella, rejecting calls for his resignation, especially after he secured a contract extension to 2028.
