Returning to the world, Pogba signs with Monaco and she burst into tears! Montera renews contract with Türkiye s national team

On the afternoon of June 27 local time, the Turkish Football Association officially announced that it would renew its contract with national team coach and Italian coach Vincenzo Montera until June 2028.

The Turkish Football Association confirmed the news in a statement that afternoon, and they will officially sign a new contract at the national team training camp on Monday, June 30. This is the trust of the Star Moon Legion in Montera, the 51-year-old Italian coach who took office for the first time in September 2023.

"Little Plane" Montera led the Turkish national team with a record of 12 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. He led the team to participate in the 2024 European Cup and qualified in the final circle, but lost to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. They also won the UEFA European League playoff against Hungary in March 2025.

Montera got the job after working at the Turkish club Adana Dimes. Before that, he coached Fiorentina, Sevilla, AC Milan, Sampdoria, Fiorentina, Catania and Roma.

Previous reports claimed that when Luciano Spaletti was fired, Montera might return to his homeland to accept the job of the Italian national team, but in the end the Blues chose Gattuso.

After the suspension expired, the 32-year-old former Juventus and French national team midfielder Paul Pogba chose to sign with Ligue 1 club Monaco and finally announced his return to the football world.

With the consent of both parties, Pogba negotiated with the Zebra Legion to terminate the contract in November 2024, and has been unemployed at home since then. But this week, Pogba underwent a medical check-up in Monaco and signed a two-year contract, where he reportedly earned €2 million per season and he will wear the No. 8 jersey.

Recalling back to the past, Pogba, who made a name for Juventus, returned to Old Trafford with a world record transfer fee of 105 million euros. However, the French star who returned to Manchester United failed to prove himself and returned to Juventus as a free agent in the summer of 2022.

But after entering Juventus for the second time, Pogba's career was ruined by a series of injuries, and then failed the standard drug test in August 2023. In February 2024, he was initially suspended for four years for use of stimulants. In October 2024, the ban was shortened to 18 months after appeal.

In Juventus' two periods (mainly the first period), Pogba made a total of 190 appearances for Juventus, contributing 34 goals and 39 assists, and winning the Serie A championship 4 times. He played 233 games for Manchester United, scored 39 goals and sent 51 assists, winning the UEFA Cup championship in the 16/17 season.

In addition, he played 91 times for the French national team and scored 11 goals, making him one of the main contributors to winning the 2018 World Cup.

Former Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba was so excited that he burst into tears when he signed a contract with Monaco.

The 32-year-old French World Cup champion once believed that he may never be able to compete again after being suspended for four years in February 2024 for failing to pass the doping test.

However, after appeal, Pogba's suspension was shortened to 18 months, and he terminated his contract with Juventus early in November after negotiation and agreement between the two sides. In the year before that, he had barely played for the Zebra Legion due to a series of injuries, further putting his career at risk of ending early.

Now, 32-year-old Pogba has finally got a chance to prove himself. This Saturday he chose to sign a two-year contract with the Monaco Club. At this moment, his emotions surged into his heart.

Pogba suddenly burst into tears when signing with Monaco, and the top leaders and entourage in Monaco had to comfort him. Pogba reportedly earns only €2 million in Monaco, a huge salary cut compared to his previous earnings at Juventus and Manchester United.
