It appears that the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), which has decided to continue long-term with Vincenzo Montella, who led the national team to the World Cup after 24 years, is preparing a new contract covering the 2028 European Championship and the 2030 World Cup. Additionally, with the citizenship process also on the agenda, it seems that Montella's future in Turkey has become even more secure.
The Turkish National Football Team's journey to the World Cup after 24 years has prompted the Turkish Football Federation to take action for Vincenzo Montella. A long-term new contract is being planned with the successful coach.
HISTORIC SUCCESS AFTER 24 YEARS
Since taking office, Montella has achieved significant successes, including promoting to the UEFA Nations League A and leading the national team to the quarter-finals of EURO 2024, and most recently, taking the national team to the World Cup. These achievements have increased the federation's confidence in the Italian coach.
LONG-TERM PLAN READY
The TFF aims to continue with Montella by deciding to maintain stability in the coaching staff. It has been learned that the new contract is planned to cover the 2028 European Championship and the 2030 World Cup.
NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN
While it is expected that the parties will sit down for a new contract soon, if an agreement is reached, Montella's term will be significantly extended.
7-YEAR TERM ON THE AGENDA
If Montella, who took office in 2023 and whose contract was previously extended, accepts the new offer, it is stated that he could remain in charge of the national team for a total of 7 years.
CITIZENSHIP DETAIL DRAWS ATTENTION
On the other hand, Montella's desire to acquire Turkish citizenship is also on the agenda. It has been stated that the federation is coordinating with the relevant institutions for this process and that the procedures will be carried out in Ankara.
