After three years at the helm of Albania, Sylvinho's name continues to circulate strongly in the international arena. The Brazilian coach gained the attention of world football by managing to send the Rossoneri to "Euro2024", as well as, for the first time in the history of our national team, to the "play-off" phase of a World Cup. Confrontations with giants such as Italy, Croatia and Spain added even more weight to him in a personal aspect, so much so that at one point the continuation of his contract with the Albanian Football Association was questioned, despite it still being in force.
Today the situation has taken a different turn. Sylvinho's contract expires in July and the parties seem further apart than ever. Even within the offices of the Albanian Football Association (AFH), there is uncertainty about whether a renewal should be offered, creating uncertainty about the future of the red and black bench.
Meanwhile, Sylvinho's name has started to circulate again in Brazil. Local media reports that Corinthians, the team he previously coached, is showing interest in his return. The Brazilian led the team from May 2021 to February 2, 2022, where he was fired after the loss to Santos. In 44 matches with Corinthians, he recorded 17 wins, 14 draws and 13 losses.
Sylvinho's future remains open, and while Corinthians is watching, the AFF must decide whether to continue their collaboration with the coach who led Albania to two historic successes.
