Despite the football embarrassment in the Faroe Islands, Stefan Kuntz believes in a future as Turkey's national coach.

The 59-year-old told "Bild" that he had had a conversation with the association's president and board member Hamit Altintop and reported on the result: "Both assured me that things would continue as planned."

After the 1: 2 (0: 0) in the Nations League with the blatant outsider, Turkish media had speculated about Kuntz being thrown out. Even before the Tórshavn debacle, Turkey had secured promotion to Group B of the Nations League, but had already been sharply criticized for Thursday's mixed 3-3 win against Luxembourg.
