“The two most promising countries for the future are Switzerland and Turkey” | Lucescu said the two best emerging countries for Euro 2024 are Turkey and Switzerland.

“The countries that will be in the tournament are Turkey and Switzerland” | With all the big teams except Italy still in the running for EURO 2024, the Romanian coach said: “It’s not a tournament where we’ll experience big surprises, except, of course, Turkey and Switzerland. I think those two countries will make a name for themselves in the tournament.”
