Montenegro's national team coach Robert Prosinečki faces pressure after a string of defeats in the Nations League, raising questions about his future with the team.

Former Croatian international and current Montenegro head coach, Robert Prosinečki, is enduring a challenging period. Since taking charge in March, the 55-year-old has been navigating the Nations League with limited success. On Friday, his team suffered their third consecutive defeat, losing 1-0 to Turkey in Samsun.

In the September cycle, Montenegro fell to Iceland in Reykjavik and Wales in Nikšić. Their next match is on Monday in Cardiff, where Prosinečki’s squad will face Wales again. With three losses already, Montenegro seems destined to remain bottom of Group 4 in League B.

This was Prosinečki's seventh game as head coach. He initially started well, securing two friendly victories over Belarus and North Macedonia. However, he has not recorded a single win or draw in a competitive match since then. As Montenegro's losing streak continues, questions are arising about how much longer the football association will stand by Prosinečki, despite his notable reputation in European football.
