TIRANA, Albania — Albania hopes to keep coach Sylvinho at the helm in a bid to reach the World Cup for the first time after the Brazilian ushered the team into next summer's European Championship. Albania qualified for Euro 2024 atop a group that included the Czech Republic and Poland. It's only the second time the country has reached the tournament. Albania's soccer federation Armand Duka says Sylvinho will be offered a contract extension ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
