After his official appointment as head coach of the U-17 National Team, coach Fatjon Tafaj gave his first interview to fshf.org, where he shared his emotions about returning to the Football Federation, this time as head coach. He spoke about the objectives of working with the team, the importance of developing young players and the projects that will be pursued in the future. Tafaj also commented on the organization of the U-17 European Championship “Albania 2025”, calling it a complete success, with quality teams and high-level football.

Emotions of returning? – It is an honor for me to return to the Albanian Football Federation, this time as head coach. This is my second experience, after an experience with the National U-21 team alongside coach Alban Bushi. I would like to thank the Albanian Football Federation, President Armand Duka and also Director Pea, for giving me the opportunity to come and become part of the Albanian football house.

The U-17 European Championship “Albania 2025”? – I followed almost all the matches. The organization was perfect. The teams were quite qualitative, football was produced, I also followed the Albanian team. There are elements that are quite promising. Of course, the teams were very strong, since playing against such opponents is not easy, despite having the quality inside. But what I saw and which is very important, there are quite good elements in the U-17 National Team.

Objectives? – Of course, it will start with the “Step by Step” project, where we will start with the player training part. Then we have another project that is more related to the office part. There will also be a lot of work with player scouting, which will be carried out in collaboration with the scouting staff, the director and everyone else for the selection. Reducing the margin of error is very important. I say this because I see that there are very good elements, both in Albania and abroad. The goal is to have as many quality players as possible.
