In the National Team that bid farewell to the World Cup, Vincenzo Montella's future is being questioned. Journalist Evren Göz announced that Italian coach Antonio Conte was contacted before Stefan Kuntz, who was appointed in the previous period for the National Team. Stating that Conte could be an option again if Montella is let go, Evren Göz said, "If Montella is to be sent off, the most suitable name would be Conte."
After being eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup by losing 2-0 to Paraguay, Vincenzo Montella's position with the Turkish National Football Team is in jeopardy, while a surprising truth has emerged. Speaking on the Sporx YouTube channel, Evren Göz brought a striking news item to the agenda by naming Antonio Conte.
''CONTE WAS THE FIRST CHOICE''
Evren Göz stated that before Stefan Kuntz was appointed, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) first approached Italian coach Antonio Conte. Göz said, "Before Kuntz, the real target was Antonio Conte. The second alternative was Shevchenko, while Kuntz only ranked third. At that time, Conte's annual demand was around 7-8 million Euros."
''CONTE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE MOST CORRECT NAME''
Evren Göz, indicating that if Montella, whose future is uncertain, parts ways, the route could turn back to Conte, stated, "If they part ways with Vincenzo Montella and continue with the Italian school, the top version and the most correct name for this system would be Conte."
