Tough times for Kosovo coach Bernard Challandes

Kosovo failed Thursday night in qualifying for the European Championship at the North Macedonia fence. Now technical director Bernard Challandes faces a challenge.

The 69-year-old Romand has been on a very successful path in Kosovo from taking office in March, until that devastating Thursday night when the young Uefa member surprisingly missed the North Macedonia hurdle. Following the 2-1 loss, Kosovo fans and media alike called on Challandes to step down immediately.

The Swiss coach’s contract was only extended to the Qatar World Cup in 2022 at the end of August. Challandes will not resign on his own initiative, as he quickly made clear to Kosovar journalists: “I have signed a contract. Why should I quit now? For a single loss to North Macedonia? I am surprised that you think North Macedonia is a weak opponent. We are not Germany! “

In the coming days, Kosovo will face Slovenia and Greece in the Nations League.
