The Albanian Football Association (AFC) decided to put Rolando Maran, an experienced Italian coach, on the national team bench, but who does not have a big name. The well-known coach, Jul Ahmati, on Sport News on News 24, said that we cannot judge Maran, as he can really be productive and can have a good performance in Albania.

I could have expected this move, 3-5 or even 10 years ago, when Serie A was full of Albanian players, from De Biasi to Panucci or Reja, it was a normal choice, but Maran raises questions. A 62-year-old, who had his peak 10-15 years ago, with a declining career in recent years, mainly in Serie B. Do these details bother you?

Everyone expects more, but I think we shouldn't judge without seeing the work. We can go to the World Cup and what can we say. In football there is competition, our competition is with strong teams. We need an experienced coach to manage the group based on the talents we have, which is what the whole world does. Look at Poland, who bases their game on the few stars they have. It's great that he has come now because there are friendlies.
