After parting ways with Vincenzo Montella in the Turkish National Team, the search for a head coach continues. Following Arda Turan's announcement that he will stay at Shakhtar Donetsk, it has been claimed that the TFF is considering temporarily appointing Şenol Güneş for the matches against Belgium and France.

After parting ways with Vincenzo Montella in the Turkish National Football Team, it is wondered who the new head coach will be. It was claimed that the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) is considering a surprise formula before the matches to be played in November.

ARDA TURAN ANNOUNCED HIS DECISION

After Montella's departure, Shakhtar Donetsk Head Coach Arda Turan was also among the names who could take charge of the Turkish National Team. However, the young coach announced with his statement that he would stay with the Ukrainian team.

2-MATCH FORMULA FROM TFF

According to Sabah's report, Arda Turan was the only domestic head coach candidate for TFF. After Turan's decision, it was claimed that the federation planned to hold talks with foreign head coaches. On the other hand, it was stated that TFF is also considering making a temporary appointment until a new head coach is determined.

ŞENOL GÜNEŞ CLAIM

In the report, it was conveyed that the Turkish National Team could play its November matches against Belgium and France in the UEFA Nations League with a domestic head coach. In this context, it was claimed that the name that came to the agenda was Şenol Güneş.

While it was stated that the possibility of appointing the experienced coach, who previously coached the Turkish National Team, for two matches was being considered, no official statement was made by TFF regarding the matter.
