The 53-year-old former Turkey midfielder steps into the job following Montella's dismissal earlier this month after a difficult Uefa Nations League campaign.
Turkey sit bottom of Group A1 after four consecutive losses, having also suffered a group stage exit from the 2026 World Cup.
"We wish Yalcin success in his new role and hope this decision proves auspicious for our country and our national team," the TFF said in a statement.
