The Brazilian Ze Maria arrived in Albania yesterday to discuss the latest details with Tirana's leaders before taking the lead of the capital team.
In an interview to "Supersport" at Mother Teresa Airport, he said agreed to undertake this challenge because of the great history of Tirana and made a comparison with the difficult situation that Juventus faced 10 years ago.
"I think we will close the deal over the next few hours. I know somehow this great club, it's impossible not to hear about such a club. Even Juventus in Italy has had tough moments and this can happen to any team.I have a friend who lives here in Albania who has spoken to me about the club and I decided to accept this challenge because it is the club with the greatest history here, so I think it's a big challenge. I'm a man who has always tried such challenges.
The main objective is to bring back Tirana in Super League because a club with this story can not stay in second league. This year I have not followed Tirana matches but I have information for some players and I will see them in the coming days. I hope that if everything goes according to the predictions, I sign on Saturday."/Oculus News
