Hürriyet reported on Saturday that Türkiye head coach Vincenzo Montella is dealing with two major problems in the wake of the national team's match against France. The Istanbul-based outlet framed the issues as central to its post-match analysis, though the summary available did not specify what those problems are.
The match drew wide commentary across Turkish football media. NTVSpor published remarks from former player İlker Yağcıoğlu, who singled out one national team player for praise after the France game and said the recognition was deserved. Sabah, meanwhile, carried a piece headlined around Arda Güler and a line about enjoying the contest, suggesting the midfielder's display was a talking point.
Fotomaç collected front-page headlines from French newspapers reacting to the match, indicating the fixture received attention in France as well. The coverage reviewed by CYBEV.io did not include the full text of any of these articles, and no specific details of Montella's reported problems, match score, or player statistics were available in the source material.
The result adds to the ongoing scrutiny of Montella's tenure and his squad choices during the current international window. Turkish outlets have treated the France fixture as a benchmark for the team's progress, with pundits and former players weighing in on individual performances.
What to watch next: whether Montella or the Turkish football federation addresses the reported issues publicly, and how the squad responds in its next fixture.
