His words: “Everyone can rest easy, I am here. Now we should stop talking about it, it’s a distraction.”

Vincenzo Montella, the Turkish head coach, spoke during a press conference on the eve of the clash against Montenegro. Here are his words on the rumors of interest from Roma: “There is always a lot of speculation in football. I am really happy to be here. At times, there will also be criticisms, but I still feel loved here. If one day I should leave, the President of the Federation will be the first to know. We have a good relationship and we can talk about anything. Everyone can rest easy, I am here. “We should now stop talking about it; it’s a distraction and we need to focus on Montenegro’s game,”.

Even Calhanoglu chimed in: “We heard that Montella was being sought out by Roma, but we told him ‘stay here.’ We are all very happy with him as a coach and we want him to stay.”
