Lushnja has a special new resident. He is the coach of the Albanian national football team, Sylvinho.
The technician, as well as his assistants, have applied for an Albanian passport. Then, in the premises of the Museum House of the 'Lushnja Congress' in the presence of the Minister of the Interior Taulant Balla and the mayor Eriselda Sefa, he was sworn in as the youngest citizen.
"It is an honor for me and all the staff, something spectacular. It is something spectacular, special! Now I am a citizen of Lushnja, Albania. It is a big responsibility. I thank all the people, the Federation, the country. We are proud to be Albanian citizens. Yes, now I feel a little more Albanian! We have an important challenge ahead. We have to work harder, but we have a good team", said Sylvinho.
The red and black coach will be a resident of the "Liberation" neighborhood of this city. His two assistants, Zabaleta and Doriva, have also registered in this city, while applying for an Albanian passport.
The Reds will be led in the finals of the European Championship by a coach from Albania.
