Unexpectedly, the Albanian Football Federation (AFCH) shakes hands with Sylvinho, "flash" conference today, new coach introduced

"The last word belongs to Sylvinho, there is an offer on the table ." This is what Armand Duka, the president of the Albanian Football Association, said in his analysis after the end of the "play-off" phase in the World Cup qualifiers. Duka was clear that with or without Sylvinho, the fate of the red and black bench would be decided before the June friendlies.

The Brazilian coach was present in Tirana today, but not to discuss the terms of the new contract, but sources for News24 indicate that the decision between Duka and Sylvinho was made some time ago. There is no official communication, but Sylvinho has closed it with the Albanian Football Association, with the latter announcing an extraordinary conference today at 10:00 to announce the non-renewal of the contract with Sylvinho and the introduction of the new coach of the national team.

Sylvinho leaves Albania with fantastic numbers as he qualified for the European Championship and for the first time sent the "eagles" to the "play-off" stage of a World Cup.
