Roma Eyes Montella as New Coach Amid TFF Denial

Created Date: November 12, 2024 15:50

It has been claimed that the Italian team Roma, who parted ways with coach Ivan Juric, wants to appoint Vincenzo Montella, the coach of the Turkish A National Team, as the head of the team. An answer came from TFF regarding the issue.

In Rome, which could not start the season as desired in the Italian Serie A, there were 2 technical changes in the first 12 weeks.

All eyes turned to Vincenzo Montella in the Italian team, which terminated the contract of Ivan Juric, who took office after Daniele De Rossi.

RELEASE COST

According to the news in Corriere dello Sport, Roma officials are meeting with Montella, the technical boss of the National Team.

In the continuation of the news, it was noted that Montella, who is ranked first among Roma’s coach candidates, could be released if his 6-month salary is paid to TFF.

ANSWER FROM TFF

On the other hand, Habertürk’s report stated that Turkish Football Federation officials stated that the allegations that Montella would go to Rome do not reflect the truth.

It has been noted that the Italian coach does not currently have any thoughts of leaving the National Team.

‘IF I GET AN OFFER FROM ROME, I WILL GO’

The Italian coach, who previously gave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport, said that he would follow his heart if he received an offer from Roma. Stating that he loves Roma very much, Montella said, “I am saddened by De Rossi’s departure because he is a friend and a good person. But I cannot interfere with the club’s choice. This would not suit my character. I am very happy to be the coach of Turkey, but this would leave me in a very difficult situation. “I would act like anyone who gets a call from a club where he spent most of his career and left a piece of his heart.” He used the following expressions:

Roma’s Coaching Conundrum: Montella’s Heart in Two Places

Ah, the beautiful game! Where the grass is greener, the stakes are higher, and the managerial merry-go-round spins faster than a dodgy DJ at a wedding. It seems our friends at AS Roma are stirring the pot once again, just months into the season and already in a coaching scramble reminiscent of a toddler fighting over the last cupcake.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

So, who’s in the hot seat now? Roma has decided that Ivan Juric, their coach since the sad departure of Daniele De Rossi, didn’t quite deliver the pizzazz they were hoping for. Who knew that attempting to navigate a season without major league wins would be so… unhelpful? In just 12 weeks, they’ve already pulled the trigger not once, but twice! It’s like some sort of cruel reality TV show: “The Apprentice: Managerial Edition.”

Meet Montella: The Potential New Chap in Charge

Enter Vincenzo Montella, currently warming the Turkish A National Team bench. Now, this guy seems to have caught Roma’s fancy, and the latest whispers suggest that Roma officials are ready to chat with him—presumably over a delightful plate of carbonara, because who doesn’t make big life decisions over a good meal?

The Cost of Love

But here’s the kicker: if Roma really wants Montella, they’ll need to cough up a hefty sum. Apparently, he has a 6-month salary clause that must be paid to the Turkish Football Federation, which sounds less like a release clause and more like a bad Tinder date where you still have to pay for half the meal if things go south!

Not So Fast, Roma!

Just when you thought this soap opera couldn’t get more ridiculous, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) stepped in, denying all these rumors quicker than Montella can say, “I fancy a good pizza!” They claim he’s not leaving his post, which, if we’re honest, makes their summer barbecue plans quite dull. I mean, who wants to sit and talk about football politics when you could be discussing the merits of a good barbecue instead?

A Heart Torn Between two Teams

Montella, being the gentleman he is, has expressed his affection for Roma—it’s like he’s stuck in a rom-com where the girl he loves is calling him while he’s on a date with someone else! He stated he’d follow his heart if an offer came through. “I love Roma,” he said, while simultaneously trying to stick to his commitment to the national team. Imagine the dilemma as if deciding between a sunny holiday in the Amalfi Coast or a rainy day in Manchester!

What’s Next for Roma?

As the plot thickens, it begs the question: what is Roma really after? A coach who can inspire, strategize, or perhaps someone who can simply make the players cry less?  Football, a sport rooted in passion, seems to hinge on the whims and fancies of boardrooms and soccer federations now, serving as the perfect reminder that all of this is as serious as a cat meme going viral!

At the end of the day, will Montella don the Roma jersey again, or will he remain a steadfast soldier for Turkey? Only time and a few negotiations over pasta will tell. Let’s keep an eye on this unfolding drama because one thing is for sure; football never fails to entertain.

Following the recent departure of coach Ivan Juric, Italian football club Roma is reportedly eyeing Vincenzo Montella, currently at the helm of the Turkish A National Team, to take over as head coach. The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has responded to these developments, adding intrigue to the situation.

As the Serie A season progresses, Roma has struggled to meet expectations, leading to two separate coaching changes within the first 12 weeks of competition.

With Juric’s contract terminated, all eyes in the Italian football community have shifted toward Montella, who previously took the reins after Daniele De Rossi’s tenure.

RELEASE COST

According to a report from Corriere dello Sport, Roma officials have initiated discussions with Montella, who is the current manager of the Turkish national team.

Reports indicate that Montella stands as the leading candidate for the managerial position at Roma, with a potential release contingent on the payment of his six-month salary to the TFF.

ANSWER FROM TFF

In contrast, a report from Habertürk has quoted TFF officials denying that there are any truths to the speculation regarding Montella’s move to Rome.

Furthermore, it has been emphasized that the Italian coach is not contemplating a departure from his role with the national team at this time.

‘IF I GET AN OFFER FROM ROME, I WILL GO’

In a previous interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Montella candidly expressed that he would have to follow his heart if Roma extended an offer. His affection for the club is palpable, as he shared his sadness over De Rossi’s exit, stating, “He is a friend and a good person. But I cannot interfere with the club’s choice. This would not suit my character.” Montella acknowledged the complexities of his current situation, affirming, “I would act like anyone who gets a call from a club where he spent most of his career and left a piece of his heart.” He conveyed a mixture of pride in his role with Turkey and an understanding of the emotional pull that Roma holds for him.

**Interview with⁣ Sports ‍Analyst Marco Rossi on Roma’s Coaching Dilemma**

**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Marco! As we dive into the latest developments surrounding AS Roma and their⁢ coaching situation, can you give us a brief overview of what has transpired since the departure of Ivan Juric?

**Marco Rossi:** Absolutely! ⁣It’s‌ been a turbulent time for Roma. Just‍ 12 weeks into the Serie A season, they’ve already parted ways with Juric, who was‍ brought in following the departure of club legend Daniele De​ Rossi. This ‍decision ​came after a ⁤series of disappointing performances⁣ that left fans and management frustrated.

**Editor:** So,‌ with ‍Juric gone, there’s talk that‌ Roma is keen on Vincenzo Montella. What stands out about him as ‍a potential coach for the team?

**Marco Rossi:** Montella ⁣is ⁢a fascinating choice given his history with Roma as ‍both a player and⁢ a coach. He’s held various roles across different clubs‌ and‌ currently leads ⁤the Turkish National Team. His tactical ‍knowledge and previous connections‍ to Roma⁤ might offer a level of familiarity that could galvanize the squad. However, there are financial implications since Roma would need to pay a release clause tied to​ Montella’s ⁣contract with the ⁤Turkish Football‌ Federation.

**Editor:** Speaking of the TFF, they have denied these rumors regarding Montella’s move. How significant is their response in this context?

**Marco Rossi:**‌ Very significant. When the TFF ​claims that Montella has no intention of leaving his position, it complicates ⁢matters ‍for Roma. While Montella has expressed a​ desire ​to join Roma if they come calling—a sentiment he’s shared publicly—these denials hint at a commitment that could be legally binding. If Roma wants ‍him, they’ll need to navigate⁣ these waters very ⁢carefully.

**Editor:** Montella’s emotional connection to Roma seems to play a big role in this story. How ‍does ⁤this personal element influence his possible decision?

**Marco Rossi:** That⁤ emotional connection is crucial. Montella has expressed⁤ his love for Roma, which is reminiscent of a player feeling⁢ torn between loyalty to a club and a new opportunity. If an official⁢ offer comes through, he may feel compelled to answer that call due to his past, but he’s also under obligation to honor his commitment to the national ‌team. It’s ⁢genuinely a heart vs. head situation‌ that makes this drama even more compelling.

**Editor:** With this context, what do you think lies ahead for Roma? Are they ⁤likely to resolve this soon?

**Marco Rossi:** It’s hard to say! The next few weeks will be critical. Roma needs to address its coaching vacancy quickly if they want to stabilize the season. If Montella indeed becomes a candidate, negotiations with the TFF will be the first hurdle, followed by his own emotional considerations. Ultimately, it’s⁤ a waiting game—fans will be eager to see if their club can make a choice that brings back the passion they’re missing.

**Editor:** ⁤Thanks, Marco! ⁤It sounds like this coaching saga has quite a way to go. We’ll be keeping a close eye on what unfolds in‌ the coming weeks!

**Marco⁤ Rossi:**‌ My ‌pleasure! It’s a story that has all the trappings ⁣of a classic football drama, and I look forward to seeing how it resolves!
