Player Boycott before ÖFB Match? Franco Foda Speaks Out
The former ÖFB national team coach cannot count on his captain, but also denies other reports.
Exciting matches await Franco Foda during the upcoming international break. In the four games with Kosovo, he will face his former team, Austria, twice.
The German coach is grappling with an issue beforehand. Captain Amir Rrhamani (SSC Napoli) has resigned in protest against federation president Agim Ademi.
Recently, Kosovar media speculated about a boycott by further players.
Franco Foda made it clear on "CANAL+" during the EL match between Sturm Graz and Rennes: "Everything in Kosovo is very emotional. The fact is that Amir Rrhamani has resigned. He also informed me of this personally. But all players who are fit and whom I will invite will be present on Monday and will prepare for the games in conjunction with me. Much is being dramatized. The claim that even more players want to boycott the national team is not true."
