Austrian police ban Kukes coach, 7 players travelling to Moldova

Cause? Allegations of tricks in some friendly matches Kukes held right on Austrian soil. yesterday's situation has created concern and panic in the environments of Albania's ruling champion club and has made footballers very uncomfortable before the Champions match against Sheriff Tiraspol on 12 July.

CENTURY

Everything happened last night when the Kukes team bus was arriving in Vienna, where it is heading towards Moldova today. About 9:30, when the bus arrived in the Austrian capital after a seven-hour trip from the town of Kaprun, police have stopped the vehicle and called a part of the footballers into one of Vienna's commissioners.

The newspaper “Panorama Sport” has been able to find out that, along with the players, coach Ernest Gjota has been called. The reason for football players' association has been suspicion of tricks about some friendly ones Kukes recently held in Austria.

KU S THE HOURS ARE

In addition to coaching Gjoka, the paper exclusively teaches that the players associated with the police are goalkeepers Enea Kolici and Ervis Koci. The others are Santa Star, Albert Serran, Rustem Hoxha, Hair Zeqiri and Simon Round. Players have been on the commissioners for more than three hours and are taught that some of them have been set free around hour five.

PRECEDENT

There is no way worse than the image of Albanian football. Last year UEFA condemned Albania's champions, Skenderbeun, so he would not participate in the Champions, just for tricks. Meanwhile, Albania's current champions are now again banned in Vienna with the same suspicion.

So far, however, it is only about an investigation into possible predestination, as it can result in Kukes being completely clean. All this remains to be seen in the coming days.
