  • Record: 21 wins, 5 draws, 14 losses in 40 matches over 1,115 days

The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) announced on October 9 that it had ended Vincenzo Montella's tenure as national team head coach following a board meeting. The Italian had been in charge since September 21, 2023, succeeding Stefan Kuntz.

Over 1,115 days Montella oversaw 40 matches — 31 competitive and nine friendlies — recording 21 victories, five draws and 14 defeats. The team scored 66 goals and conceded 58 during his spell.

“Montella's dismissal is a matter of time: Turkey has already chosen his replacement.”

— La Gazzetta dello Sport (reported by Kocatepe Gazetesi)

Highlights included reaching the Euro 2024 quarter-finals after beating Austria in the last 16, and qualifying for the 2026 World Cup for the first time in 24 years via play-off wins over Romania and Kosovo. Turkey also earned promotion to the UEFA Nations League A for the first time.

However, the side lost its last four Nations League A fixtures against France, Italy and Belgium without collecting a point. The final match was a 3-1 defeat away to Italy on October 5. Italian daily La Gazzetta dello Sport reported the federation will pay Montella a settlement of around €915,000, equivalent to five months' salary.
