But what is the reason for this decision?
Dritan Shakohoxha, in connection with the sports program on ART, from "Wembli", where he commented on the Euro 2020 final, revealed that he will run in next year's elections for president of the Albanian Football Federation. This post, as it is known, is held by Armando Duka for 5 mandates. To be free and unconditional in this race, Shakohoxha has chosen to give up the profession and prepare for next year's campaign:
"I will leave journalism, but I will be in the sports environment and I will be long. What can I say more openly? I will run for president of FSHF. "I am convinced that I will win," said Shakohoxha.
On his Instagram account, Shakohoxha has also posted dozens of messages sent by famous personalities from the field of sports and abroad. Some have expressed regret over his decision, but many others have no doubt wished him success in his new goal.
