Three years at the helm of Albania, has Sylvinho's cycle ended?

Unfortunately, the World Cup dream was finally extinguished in Warsaw, a bitter end, this because Poland was not an impossible mission, this was also proven on the field, but the details, the choices and the poor form of some legionnaires caused Albania to stop in the "play-off" phase. This meeting once again awakened the discussion regarding the future of Sylvinho, the first one ended under accusation.

After the match, Sylvinho dribbled about his future, emphasizing that he is under contract until July. Of course, after the end of the friendly against Ukraine, the Albanian Football Association and Sylvinho will sit down again at the table to discuss the future. From Poland to Poland, in these 3 years, the Brazilian technician has undisputed merit after sending Albania to the European Championship, but also for the first time to the "play-off" phase of a World Cup.

This is only one side of the coin, but it is also a fact that with Sylvinho on the bench they finished the Nations League in last place, falling one League lower. Also, during this period, Sylvinho is heavily burdened by some choices, the way of reading the game and many other details that do not provide guarantees for the future.

Now is the time for Duka and the rest of the AFF staff to make a decision regarding Sylvinho's future, as the qualifying campaign for the Nations League starts in September, a competition that the AFF is forced to start with a new coach, so as not to make the same mistake as they did during Edy Reja's time, forcing Sylvinho to play his first match in charge of the national team against Poland in an official match for the European qualifiers without giving him the opportunity to know the group he had available.
