Vincenzo Montella leads Turkey against his home country Italy when the two sides meet in the UEFA Nations League on Monday.
Turkey made its League A debut Friday after back-to-back promotions, but a 54th-minute goal from Kylian Mbappe handed France a 1-0 win in Kocaeli.
That was Turkey's third loss in its last four matches. The Crescent-Stars also went out in the World Cup group stage this summer.
