The coach of the Albanian football team, Italian Gianni de Biasi,
published a letter today in which he announced that he would not be
anymore coach of the Albanian national team.
“Starting from today, I will not be coach of the Albanian National team. I think I accomplished my duty. After the European Championship, I was convinced to improve the team and the experience we had in France would allow us to keep growing in the international arena. And this is going to happen, but with a new coach”, de Biasi wrote.
Same as yesterday, De Biasi confirmed the offers he had refused for Albania.
“I am leaving Albania’s without having another team. I resisted to many offers”, de Biasi says.
Despite emotions, it seems that this decision is related to the market season which starts soon. De Biasi’s mission with Albania’s national team seemed accomplished, and he requested to be free for the next possible offers.
The warm meeting in public with the President of the Albanian Football Federatio, Armando Duka, most probably was just a show to cover the crack in their relation.
“I don’t think that the mission of the coach is accomplished with Albania. I asked him to stay, but he was convinced that everything was exhausted and convinced me more than I could convince him to stay”, Duka said.
Now that the divorce is official, De Biasi will return to Albania only as a tourist. As for his replacement, it is still a mystery. However, Duka said that he has not excluded the option of having an Albanian one.
