The chairman of the Turkish Football Association said that Turkish national team coach Montera is about to obtain Turkish citizenship.

Montera is a famous Italian striker. After retiring, he began to work as a coach and coached teams such as Milan, Fiorentina, and Sevilla. In 2023, Montera became the head coach of the Türkiye national team and has coached to this day.

When Montera renewed its contract with Türkiye until 2028 in June this year, it had hinted that he might become a Turkish citizen. This week, Ibrahim Hassiosmanoglu, chairman of the Turkish Football Association, confirmed the news in an interview: "We will make Montera a Turkish citizen as soon as possible."

Montera also said before: "Of course, I want to be a Turkish citizen, but I know I have to learn Turkish. So you should be careful when speaking Turkish in front of me, because I have begun to understand!"
