The Italian coach dreams of leading Albania: With Broja, Asllan and Kumbulla, they are great

The former defender of Tottenham and Inter, Paolo Tramezzani is convinced by the young talent that is appearing in the national team of Albania and that the red and black can do very well in the near future.

Tramezzani, who was Gianni De Biasi's assistant in the historic qualification of the Albanian national football team in "Euro 2016", says that he has closely watched how Chelsea striker Armando Broja, Inter midfielder Kristjan Asllani and Roma defender Marash Plums, have all had a positive impact on their respective clubs.

Tramezzani, speaking to "Tribalfootball", is convinced that the three players in question, but even more red and black players, can leave their mark in Europe: "These names confirm what I have been saying for a long time. They play in important teams, they are young players and I think that in the future, with these players, the Albanian national team can become stronger and stronger".

Albania has just changed its coach, with Sylvinho, the former star of Arsenal and Barcelona, ??succeeding Edy Reja. Tramezzani gives his judgment on this round on the red and black bench: "I don't want to go into details about this election, but I have a lot of faith in Armand Duka, the president of the Albanian Football Federation. I'm sure he made the right choice as always. For me, Reja has done a great job, added stability to the team and played some nice matches.

I have a lot of respect for him, also for the fact that he was my coach when I was a player. For me, Reja has done the maximum possible with that team".

Tramezzani, who has been in charge of teams such as Hajduk Split, Sion and APOEL, says that getting a call from Duka in the future to manage Albania would be a dream come true.

The Italian admits that he was not contacted during the previous round of negotiations to replace Edy Reja, but insists that the door is open to return to the Albanian national team in the future:

"I will be honest and say that I have not received any offer, but I hope that in the future I will have such a chance. Coaching the Albanian national team is my dream".
