Montella sacked by Turkiye
Turkiye started its UEFA Nations League campaign with four straight defeats, and coach Vincenzo Montella has paid the price with his job.
Turkiye went down to France, Italy (twice) and Belgium during the extended international window, and also suffered an early exit at this year's FIFA World Cup, going out in the group stage, where Australia also claimed a victory over the side.
Montella took over the national team in September 2023, and successfully guided it to both UEFA Euro 2024 and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but his team failed to go deep at either tournament.
A brief statement issued on the TFF website read: "It has been decided that Mr Vincenzo Montella will not continue as our national team."
Montella previously coached AC Milan, Fiorentina and Sevilla.
The Italian won 21 of his 40 matches in charge of Turkiye, suffering 14 defeats.
