"Divorce" with the AFF seems inevitable, Sylvinho's name comes up

In 3 years at the helm of Albania, Sylvinho's name circulated strongly all over the world, this is also to his credit after he managed to send a small representative like Albania to the European Championship, also for the first time he sent them to the "play-off" phase of a World Cup. In "Euro2024" the confrontation with representatives like Italy, Croatia and Spain also gave him a very big bonus in terms of personal terms, so much so that at one point even though he was under contract with the Albanian Football Association, Sylvinho was in doubt about continuing at the helm of the Rossoneri. Today the discussion is different as the Brazilian technician's contract ends in July and the parties seem further apart than ever, as this time even in the Albanian Football Association offices they are not sure whether to offer him a new contract.
