Jürgen Klopp's debut as Germany manager concluded with a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, where Cody Gakpo secured an injury-time equaliser for the Dutch. This appointment marks a significant change for the four-time World Cup winners.
Zinedine Zidane has also returned to management, taking the helm of France. This is his first role since departing Real Madrid five years ago, where he previously won three consecutive Champions League titles and two La Liga titles.
Meanwhile, Roberto Mancini has been reappointed as Italy manager for the Euro 2028 cycle, following Italy's failure to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup. Mancini's previous tenure saw 38 wins, 12 draws, and eight losses, and he is known for his discipline and willingness to give youth a chance.
Vincenzo Montella remains as Turkey's manager, with the federation reportedly taking a long-term view despite the team finishing bottom of their World Cup group. Turkey is set to face France in a Nations League match, while Italy will play Belgium.
