Turkey Coach Vincenzo Montella's Sister Dies in Domestic Accident
Vincenzo Montella, the head coach of the Turkish national football team, is mourning the death of his sister, Caterina Montella, who died in a hospital after a serious domestic accident at her home. The Turkish Football Federation announced the news with deep sorrow, stating that doctors had fought for her life for days. The funeral is scheduled for 4:30 PM local time at the San Nicola Church in the Castello di Cisterna district of Naples. Montella, who took over as Turkey's coach in September 2023, led the team to qualification for Euro 2024 and the 2026 World Cup, though they were eliminated in the group stage of the latter. Despite the team's early exit, Montella has stated he will not resign, and federation president İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu has publicly backed him and the players.
