Turkey sacks Montella, Juventus extends González until 2030

On October 9, the Turkish Federation announced the split from Vincenzo Montella, while Juventus confirmed the renewal of Nico Gonzalez until June 30, 2030, creating a sharp contrast between a decision of termination and one of continuity.

Montella, former coach of Milan and Fiorentina, had been appointed head coach of the Turkish national team in September 2023. During his tenure he led Turkey to the quarter‑finals of Euro 2024 and the last World Cup, but disappointing results prompted the TFF to end the relationship.
