The President of the Albanian Football Federation, Armand Duka, in an interview given to "Sport News" on "News 24", was also asked about his daily life. Duka spoke about his free time and vacations, while the numerous rumors about the head of the Albanian Football Federation could not be left without mentioning.
Now we are at the AFF bar, to have a softer conversation. Now everyone is thinking about vacations. I am curious to know, where does the AFF president vacation, inside or outside Albania?
I generally do them in Albania, at sea.
On a yacht or on public beaches, so with people nearby?
At sea, in general.
On the beaches I see grandparents holding their grandchildren and parents sunbathing. Do you, Mr. Duka, belong to this category?
I really want to have them with me, but this year I'm not lucky, because my mom won't let us.
With so many commitments, do you have time for your family? How do you manage to find balance, it seems like you live between London and Albania?
I think I manage it well enough to be 60 percent of a good family man.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
After I finish my duty at the Federation, I hope to have a break, not a vacation, because my life itself does not allow me to have free time, I deal with business.
In Albania, people deal with gossip. For example, what was the most absurd rumor for you?
Listen as much as you want, about me, about business, about football.
When you read online comments that say "The Duke will never leave," do you laugh or get upset?
In fact, I see my relationship with myself in two worlds. People on social media who don't say anything, people I meet on the street and in sports venues. I don't know who the truth is.
Is it more difficult to manage an important match for Albania or a dinner with political leaders at the same table?
What is very difficult is managing high-level emotions.
How difficult is it to say "no" in your position? And do you often use that word in formal meetings?
I must say it.
If you were to quit your job one day and have free time, what would you do first? Or would you disappear?
I will never disappear as long as I can be active. I said, if I am not active in football, I will be in business. Thank you for the interview and I wish you a happy holiday.
