Vincenzo Montella has been named new coach of Adana Demirspor.

President Murat Sancak confirmed the news after sacking Samet Aybaba last night.

“We have agreed terms with Montella and he is coming," Sancak told Haber Global.

Adana Demirspor were promoted to the Super League this season, but have not won any of their first three games.

Sancak admits Mario Balotelli was a factor in the decision to sack Aybaba.

He stated: “It's obvious they didn't get along. He's on leave right now, but we told Balotelli either he grows up and learns not to react like this or he may as well not come back.

“Balotelli didn't know about our talks for Montella, but Fenerbahce also wanted to bring the coach in."
