There is Vincenzo Montella to the quarter-finals of the 2024 European Championships. After the perhaps unexpected victory of his Turkey in a well-rated Austria, the Areoplanino flies far in this competition. Disastrous round of 16 for the Azzurri, but also for the other coaches. Italians present in these European Championships were certainly not lucky. Francesco Calzona and his Slovakia were eliminated in extra time by England, while an own goal from Vertonghen was enough for France to overcome Domenico Tedesco's Belgium. And then Montella is the one resisting in the second direct elimination phase. And if we also think about our local referee Daniel Orsato, here the Tricolor continues to fly in this European event.
Vincenzo Montella, sole coach. Italian to the quarter-finals
We started with Ben's presence five ct. Italians in these 2024 European championships, also counting the Italian Luciano Spalletti. Then reduced to four, after the failure to repechage among the best thirds of Marco Rossi's Hungary. In the round of 16 a large part of Italy was eliminated. First the disaster for Spalletti and the Azzurri against Switzerland, then the others. A real shame for the Slovakia di Calzone. Leading for 75 minutes, they were caught at the last minute and overturned in extra time by an England team that relied on its most representative men. The Belgium di German, however, perhaps failed to show his best game against France. For the Transalpines, certainly not irresistible, an own goal from Vertonghen was enough to advance to the quarter-finals. For the Belgians, the best result of their European championships remains second place in 1980, behind Germany, in an edition held on German soil.
For Turkey now there is the challenge against the Netherlands
Turkey managed to prevail against a good Austria. Demiral scores a double and a 2-1 which for Montella and his men means passage to the quarter-finals. The Turks didn't get that far fromEuro 2008 edition, played in Austria and Switzerland, when they then went out in the semi-final against Germany. The next Saturday July 6 the match against a tough Netherlands. The Areoplanino holds up the flag of two nations: for him the unanimous support of two countries.
