Vincenzo Montella, the head coach of Turkey, echoed the sentiments of the Turkish Football Federation president regarding the upcoming final play-off match. He minimized the significance of Kosovo’s recent success, acknowledging their dramatic 3-4 victory over Slovakia in Bratislava.

“Whether it’s Slovakia or Kosovo, the opposing team’s tactics will vary,” he explained. “We understand this, and we are diligently preparing for any potential surprises.”
Montella highlighted the maturity of his players, noting their skillful performance against Romania. Despite Romania’s strategy of playing with expansive distances, Turkey responded with composure and ultimately secured a victory.
“Our team demonstrated a mature approach,” Montella added, “and we are pleased with the overall quality of our performance.”
