Daja is a great coach, but it won't matter. They already sold their 2 best players to Ukranian teams. (In fact this Itodo guy is not even called?)

Even if they miraculously survive Hajduk, they'll be kneecapped next round.

Him for the NT after Sylvinho leaves? I don't want Sylvinho to be sacked but I would take Daja after Sylvinho moves on.

It's time we gave a domestic coach a try given he's proven to be competent.

There's no other Albanian coach at Ilir Daja's level, his teams play progressive football and usually very organized. Imo, if next the Dinamo players don't repeat the silly mistakes they were making tonight, they could even advance to the next round.

Duka has mentioned his name several times for the job, but he'll never do it. All these guys that grew up during communism have a foreign fetish.

Shkendija got hooked up by Duka's Bet365 boys?

Meh they were eliminated anyway. Qarabag too solid and experienced in europe.

Shkendija has secured Conference League groups. They didn't look that motivated.

I think Hajduk is going to win in the end, but the fact that Dinamo is going toe to toe with a team like that, shows that Daja is for real.

It's impressive for sure because Hajduk is valued at 40 million but watching this matchup you can't tell which is the 40 million team.

Daja is a miracle worker. Dinamo was a throwaway team a few seasons ago. Now he beats Hajduk Split.

This is one the biggest nights of Albanian domestic football. Even when Skenderbeu went past Dinamo Zagreb, they did it on away goals.

Duka ironically went to the Egnatia match today. I suspect the pressure to make Daja the NT coach will be 10x higher after today.
