Turkey names Yalcin as head coach to replace Montella
Sergen Yalcin replaces Vincenzo Montella, who was sacked after a difficult Uefa Nations League campaign.
Turkey has appointed Sergen Yalcin as the new head coach, replacing the sacked Vincenzo Montella. The 53-year-old former Turkey midfielder will be serving a four-year contract. Yalcin's appointment comes after Montella's dismissal earlier this month following a poor performance in the UEFA Nations League. The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) expressed hope that Yalcin's new role will prove beneficial for the country and the national team.
Yalcin is a prominent figure in Turkish football, having represented his country 37 times from 1994 to 2003 and playing for Besiktas, Fenerbahce, and Galatasaray. As a manager, he led Besiktas to a domestic double of the Super Lig and Turkish Cup in the 2020-2021 season.
