The capital derby between Partizan and Tirana is confirmed this season as one of the most decisive matches in the Superior Category, not only for the results on the field, but also for the direct impact on the teams' benches. For Partizan, this match has proven fatal for two coaches within the same season.
Initially, it was Mladen Milinkovic who left after a heavy 0-3 defeat to Tirana in the first phase. The defeat affected the team's morale and led the club's leaders to decide to dismiss the Serbian coach, entrusting the leadership to Oltijon Kërnaja, with the aim of changing the course of the season.
The appointment of Kërnaja brought a positive reaction. Partizani improved its results and climbed the rankings, reaching fourth place and temporarily entering the race for more ambitious goals. The performance in the third phase was assessed as competitive with the leading teams of the championship.
However, this progress did not last. In the fourth phase, the team suffered a significant decline, with several matches without a win and losing ground in the standings. Problems were evident in both the offensive and defensive departments, increasing the pressure on the technical staff, writes "Panorama Sport".
In this context, the next derby against Tirana came, which was considered an opportunity for reaction. But the next loss in this match proved decisive: three weeks before the end of the championship, the leaders decided to terminate cooperation with Kërnajë as well.
Thus, the capital derby has directly influenced two important decisions of the club during this season, proving the weight that this match has in decision-making. Defeats against the historical rival are not treated simply as negative results, but as events with immediate consequences for the stability of the team.
This development also raises questions about the sustainability of Partizan's sporting project. Frequent changes on the bench could affect the continuity and building of a clear playing identity.
With only three games left until the end of the championship, Partizan faces the challenge of recovering the situation and achieving the minimum objectives. It remains to be seen whether the latest change in the bench will bring the expected effect or the season will end in disappointment.
