Armando Duka and Edi Reja shaking hands |
Albania's new coach, Edoardo Reja or as he is known Edi Reja, was presented today at the premises of the Albanian Football Federation. He accepted the offer to lead the Albanian Rossoneri and has wished for everything to go well in this adventure. After signing the contract, he answered some questions at the press conference:
"I hope everything to go well, though with the press is a bit difficult, but I'm available to have good relationships. I want to thank President Duka, who believed in me. We talked together after the match with Turkey, where I was present to see different players. It was not a good match, the team struggled. We talked again to President Duka and we came to the accord.Edi Reja |
Duke called me after the dismiss of Panucci and I'm proud of this offer. Yes, I spoke to Igli Taren, with whom I worked at Lazio. I also remember Strakosha, who was little boy when he came to the tram.
I like the aggressive teams and Albania is not as such at this moment. I have to work in this direction, I'm clear. The players should give everything to the national team shirt and we must have the spirit of the group. I want to find the right incentives for each player.
The economic side is in the second plan, has nothing to do. I want a team to sacrifice for its country. This is my philosophy.
