Serbian manager becomes argument between Albanians in Switzerland

Swiss club director Graskoppers Shqirim (Jimmy) Berisha has received criticism from the fathers of two Albanian footballers Labinot Bajrami and Blayon Xhemaili, who play for this club.

The football manager is Serbian Milos Malenovic, who owns the company “Soccer Mondial”

According to him, the director of Grashoppers, Berisha, has pressured football players to leave Malenovic's company, otherwise they would not be able to make a successful career.

I was told literally, my son would take a career opportunity and, in particular, would get a contract with the Grassoppers, unless he joins Berisha's agency. I have to regret that nothing has changed. My son Labinotti was suspended from training the U16 team only by referring to an order by Shqirim Berisha”, written in Labinot Bajrami's father letter, published in Swiss medium Bleck.

However, the claims by Milos Malenovic and the parents of Bajram and Xhemajli have denied the Gasworkers club.

The detailed “Accounts have shown that claims against Albania Berisha are groundless. We are pleased that the case was quickly clarified” said in the club's official announcement.

Otherwise, Labinot Bajrami and Bleon Xhemajli play for Switzerland's U16 age group, while now they are training with local rival Zurich.
