The Albanian Football Association (AFH) has announced that it has renewed the contracts with the National Team staff, more precisely with coach Silvinjo and his two assistants, Dorival and Zabaleta. But it is not a long-term renewal, but a renewal that lasts until July of this year, as was foreseen in the clause in the agreement between the parties if the team would pass the qualifying group for the 2026 World Cup.
The clause in question stipulates that Silvinho and his staff will continue working until July 2026, with the hope of passing the play-offs and going to the World Cup, and then a decision will be made whether or not the cooperation between the parties will continue for another edition.
Announcement from the Albanian Football Federation:
The Albanian Football Federation officially renews the contract with the coach of the Albanian National Team, Sylvio Mendes Campos Júnior (Silvinjo), as well as with his two assistant coaches, Pablo Zabaleta and Dorival Guidoni Junior, confirming the continuity of the technical project that has brought historic results for Albanian football.
The new contract with the technical staff will be valid until July 2026, with the major objective of qualifying for the first time in Albania's history in the final stages of the World Cup.
Under the leadership of coach Silvinjo, the Albanian National Team has made significant progress in organization, game identity and results, ensuring participation in the play-off phase of the 2026 World Cup for the first time.
In March, the Rossoneri will play a historic chapter, facing Poland in the play-off semi-finals on March 26, while in the event of qualification, they will face the winner of the Ukraine - Sweden match in the decisive final.
The decision to renew the contract reflects the full confidence of the AFF in the current staff, the work philosophy built over the years and the commitment to stability, continuity and high ambitions. This step aims to further strengthen the National Team, increase competitiveness and represent Albanian football in the most dignified way possible in the international arena.
The Albanian Football Federation remains determined to provide maximum support to the National Team and the technical staff on this historic journey, with the aim of turning the dream of the World Cup into a reality for all Albanians.
