Armando Duka confirms candidates' names for Albania's bench

Albania is looking for a new coach, after dismissing Christian Panucci a few days ago following its defeat against Turkey in the qualifying opening match for the 2020 European Championship, Report Express broadcast.

Duka has indicated he has talked with foreign and local trainers about Albania's bench.

I can't deny I've talked to Albanian and foreign trainers, and during these days we'll make any more concrete. The cloud is a good coach, just like the others, but I haven't had any concrete conversations. We don't have to rush. We have time to decide, within April and prepare for the June games. What gives more advantage to an Albanian candidate is the fact that it can better know the mentality and way of communication and the environment. When we say Albanian coach living in Albania and abroad, there are opportunities why not”, Duka told “A2”.

When asked about the names of Besnik Hasi or Arjan Pechos, Duka has responded. Play these names again, since there are no others. Why not Ervin Bulku, why not Sulejman Mema? I don't know if he was a modest opponent, but preparing in a short time from Bulku and Mema, for me, has been maximum”, Duka said.
