Three points after the first four matches in Group I of the qualifiers for Euro 2024, made the Federation of Kosovo dismiss coach Alain Giresse. The latter failed to give the "Dardans" an idea and a game system, so the best solution was to part ways ahead of time.

Now, Kosovo has decided to look for a new coach who will take it upon himself to send these qualifiers to the end and then to reorganize the Dardane representative once again to get it back on the "right track". There are several names that are rumored as successors to Giresse, while from Bosnia they reveal that the Dardans are working to sign Vahid Halilhodzic.

The Bosnian technician is an expert in working with national teams, as he has managed the Ivory Coast, Japan, Algeria and Morocco with great success, qualifying them for the World Cup. The CV of the 70-year-old is quite rich since in the past Halilhodzic has also trained teams in France such as Lille, Nantes or Paris Saint-Germain.

It remains to be seen if Kosovo will be able to convince what is otherwise known as "Vaha" as the national team of Bosnia-Herzegovina is also in the running and sees the highly experienced coach as the right one to bring the team back to success. .

The last experience of the 70-year-old was with the Moroccan national team, as he led the African team for three years from 2019 to 2022, to leave the baton to Walid Regregui, the coach who also led the team to the Qatar World Cup. 2022, precisely qualified in the event by Halilhodzic.
