Vincenzo Montella's New Club Revealed as Sassuolo Consider Him

The new destination of Vincenzo Montella, who parted ways with the Turkish national team after a run of poor results, is being closely watched. It has been suggested that the Italian coach, who has worked in Serie A and the Süper Lig, could return to his homeland.

Serie A club Sassuolo began looking for a new head coach after parting ways with Alberto Aquilani. According to a report by Tuttomercatoweb, Montella is among the names being evaluated by Sassuolo Sporting Director Palmieri. The club is expected to make its final decision shortly.

Montella's career in Turkey began at Adana Demirspor on 2 September 2021. He appeared in 76 matches there, winning 38, drawing 17 and losing 21. His points per game average was 1.72. In his first season, he guided the team to a 9th-place finish in the league, and in his second season, he led them into the top four, qualifying them for the UEFA Conference League preliminary rounds. He left the club on 30 June 2023.

About a month after leaving Adana Demirspor, he was appointed head coach of the Turkish national team. With the Turkish side, he took part in EURO 2024 and reached the quarter-finals. He was knocked out of the tournament after a 2-1 defeat to the Netherlands. The team then qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup for the first time in 24 years. However, after being eliminated in the group stage of the final tournament, he left his position.
