It could be said that Albania was like a driving school for him.
Silvinjo knew that he would have to succeed in Tirana to obtain his professional football coaching license, which he was unable to obtain at Lyon or Corinthians.
After difficult and unsuccessful experiences in France and Brazil, the 50-year-old, who as a footballer tried his hand at Barcelona and England, finally found himself.
It has been more than two years, about 26 months, since he has led Albania, and beyond doubts and criticism, he has something to show.
It has miraculously survived 24 matches, and even with a positive balance in the end, 10 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses.
Not only that, but his goal average is the best our national team coaches have ever had.
With Silvinjo we have scored 30 times and conceded 22 goals.
Of course, he couldn't maintain the early pace that helped us reach the European Championship finals, but that was to be expected.
Of course, his peak was with qualifying for Germany last year, the second time we did it, a success that only De Biazi can boast of having achieved besides him.
Silvinjo's difficult period was from the 0-0 draw in Tirana with the Faroe Islands in November 2023, after qualifying for the European Championship was achieved.
The two losses in friendlies against Chile and Sweden continued, while the performances in the German finals did not warm up that much, with a draw and two losses.
Then came the failure to advance to Level A of the Nations League, but we suffered relegation to Level C.
However, Albania was close to all rivals like Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and Georgia and hopeful until the end.
The difficult period continued with three games without a win, a draw with the Czech Republic, a loss to Ukraine at the "National Arena" and a defeat at "Wembley" with England.
Luckily, the victory against Andorra calmed us down.
The coach probably learned some lessons and reflected at the start of the last training session.
Against Andorra, several positions on the field were changed, especially Broja's, and this yielded results.
It is believed that the greater experience will help the Brazilian as well as the Albanian national team.
