Mirel Josa, in dilemma for Drita's offer, here is the coach's

Will the battle for the title of champion of the Kosovo Superleague in football be a battle between two coaches from the capital of Albania, Tirana. This is the question that has been raised in the football environment in Kosovo, as it has been learned that the goalless draw in Dukagjin against the local team has cost the top of the ranking to Drita, since the minimal victory of the Balkans in the field of Drencisa i Skenderaj, has returned it to the place of first the champion in power, led by coach Ilir Daja.

And this has led to the resignation of Drita's coach, Arsim Thaqi, with the Gjilan club already looking for a new name for the bench, with Mirel Josa mentioned as a candidate. In a short telephone conversation with RTSH Sport, Josa confirmed the offer of the club from Kosovo, but he has not decided yet. "Yes, I have had contact with Drita, even, to be honest with you, I have had contact with them since December of last year, but then I was at Vllaznia", the 59-year-old revealed in his conversation with RTSH Sport.

"But I'm still undecided, - he continued. - I have a lot of questions in my head regarding the team there, and moreover about the moment in which this offer comes, as there are 7 weeks left to play in Kosovo in the Super League. So, I'm thinking for a long time for many reasons and, at the moment we're talking, I can't give you an answer, because this situation caught me somewhat unprepared", - concluded Josa, explaining to RTSH Sport that there may be a meeting with the leaders of Drita during the following two days.

If he accepted this offer, Mirel Josa would have a duel for the title of champion in Kosovo with an old acquaintance like Ilir Daja, the 56-year-old who is successfully running the Balkans. Moreover, this would be a return to Kosovo for Josa, who has managed Pristina for almost two years, winning the Cup trophy in 2018. We remember that Josa left Vllaznia on March 20 of this year.
