France and Italy both secured their first home victories under their respective new managers, Zinedine Zidane and Mancini, during Monday's UEFA Nations League matches. France defeated Belgium 4-1 following a late-game surge, while Italy overcame Turkey with a 3-1 result. The French victory was fueled by substitute Michael Olise, who helped turn the tide after Belgium’s Dodi Lukebakio initially put his side in contention.

The results maintain France’s position at the top of Group A1, placing them three points ahead of Italy. Belgium, currently in third place, now trails the group leaders by four points following their loss. Other matches in the competition saw Hungary narrowly defeat Ukraine.
