Panucci tells in detail how his dismissal came: He decided to send me away

The 2-0 loss to Turkey on Friday evening cost Italian coach a lot. The 45-year-old leaves the pancine red after leading it for almost two years.

Panucci left on his first plane to Rome on Saturday morning. Before departure, in an interview for Top Channel, Panuci clears President Duke's decision.

It was a president's decision and I accept it. It's been a great experience and I thank all of Albania. I worked in complete silence thanks to President Duka, but in the end the results were bad, and the president decided to take me away. It was a very important thing to be a national coach, so I owe everyone a FALMENTER”, Panucci told Top Channel.

The coach from Rome led the Albanian national for 15 matches, out of which 9 losses, 4 victories and 2 draws. Billions that have sometimes brought insults to cheers against the coach.

There's always a guilty man and in this case I'm responsible. People who lose Albania suffer, I actually suffer. Still, I have a lot of respect for all Albanians. I thanked all the players for everything they gave me this morning. I hope they do good things that will always be in my heart”, the former Red coach added.

The question of whether this team has a chance to do better and whether this decision is right, Panucci answers...

I wish that. I hope this is a fair decision, but only time will tell.”
