ITALIAN COACH FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM: TURKEY CONFESSION FROM CALZONA

The Turkish football public is boiling with brand new and highly exciting claims put forward for the future of the National Team. According to the striking news that the HT Spor channel based on reliable sources, the 57-year-old Italian manager Francesco Calzona, who currently manages the Slovakia National Team, was officially proposed to the Turkish Football Federation through managers. The experienced coach, whose name started to be associated with the crescent-star team, almost confirmed the claims with his first statements about his future and drew the attention of Turkish football fans. Stating that he started preparations for a possible upcoming duty, Calzona used the expressions, "My manager warned me to be prepared for the upcoming duty." The 57-year-old coach, whose next destination in his career after his successful adventure in Slovakia is a matter of curiosity, gave a green light to the red and white team by saying, "It would be a privilege to manage Turkey after Slovakia." The Italian coach, who also openly expressed that they are in direct communication with officials from Turkey, emphasized that the probability of the claims coming true is quite high with the words, "We have contacts from Turkey. It would be a very good experience for us." One of the most interesting periods in the career of the successful coach dates back to the very recent past. The experienced coach made a quite radical decision in February 2024 and temporarily assumed the management of the Italian giant Napoli while continuing his current duty in Slovakia. Calzona, who took place on the bench in a total of 16 matches at the head of Napoli, which he took over in a moment of crisis and had an unlucky period, managed to catch a 1.13 point average in this tough process. Whether the Italian coach will officially sit at the table with the Turkish Football Federation in the coming days is one of the most followed topics in the sports media.
