How Albania changes with coach Rolando Maran

The appointment of Rolando Maran as head of the Albanian National Team is considered an important change in the management philosophy of the red and black team.

After the end of Silvinjo's cycle, the Albanian Football Federation has chosen to return to the Italian school and a more pragmatic profile. Silvinjo achieved important results with Albania, restoring enthusiasm and building a united group, but during the matches problems were also noticed in tactical management and defensive balances.

Rolando Maran comes after a long experience in Serie A and Serie B with teams such as Cagliari, Genoa, Chievo and Catania. The Italian coach is known for his defensive organization, pragmatism and reading the opponent during the game. His preferred system is 4-3-1-2, with a focus on compactness and aggression in midfield.

In the first predictions, for Maran's playing style, a hypothetical formation would be with Manaj and Broja in attack, supported by Muçi as a fantasy player. In midfield, Asllani, Laçi and Ramadani could play, while the defense will continue the same as with Silvinjo.

Maran becomes the fifth Italian to lead Albania after Giuseppe Dossena, Gianni De Biasi, Cristian Panucci and Edoardo Reja. The federation expects that with the 62-year-old coach, the team will gain more stability and efficiency in future international competitions.
