I would find myself in a difficult situation if I received an invitation from Roma - Vincenzo Montela, coach of Turkey, said recently.
An official invitation from the club where "Aeroplanino" is a legend has not yet arrived, but the "wolf" has already contacted Montela through an intermediary, since one of the owners, Ryan Fredkin, would be delighted to hire him.
This was published by "Gazeta delo Sport", which also emphasizes that there is a clause in Montela's contract with the Football Association of Turkey that he would have to pay if he terminates the contract early.
It is 2,2 million euros, that is, the salary that the Italian would receive in half a year, and in that case, Roma would have to pay half of that amount for him.
The same source states that the Roman club plans to offer Monteli a salary of 2,5 million euros per season.
"Gazeta" adds that everything would have to be resolved before the match in the League of Nations that Turkey plays on November 16 against Iceland, but it is not clear whether Montela would immediately leave the bench of that selection.
If that were to happen, then Turkey would arrive against Montenegro in Nikšić, three days after the match with Iceland, with a new coach.
The Turkish Federation recently said that they are not worried about the situation with Montel and that they expect the Italian expert to honor the contract that lasts until the 2026 World Cup.
Montela has done a great job with Turkey so far, reaching the quarter-finals of the last Euro, and if Hakan Calhanoglu and his friends beat Iceland, they will secure a place in the A League of Nations.
