Sacked KF Tirana manager Ndubuisi Egbo said he has no regret for being axed because he gave his all for the Albanian league champions.

On Thursday, KF Tirana sacked Egbo after poor start to the season that saw them eliminated from the Albanian Cup.

Egbo while speaking with BBC Africa Sport thanked the club 

Speaking after his dismissal Egbo thanked the club for the opportunity he was given.

“I would like to thank the club for the opportunity to serve, which helped me become the first African to win a European title and end up managing in the Uefa Champions League and the Europa League,” Egbo told BBC Africa Sport.

“I don’t have any regrets or disappointment because I gave the maximum and the team did likewise, so I remain grateful to God for what we achieved and accomplished together.

“To the fans for their incredible and overwhelming support towards me and the team, I am grateful.

“The players for their wonderful and positive spirit all through our campaign last season, I say kudos to them all.

“Both those who made big impact and those with little impact, all of them as a team made it to happen with faith in God almighty. 

“For now there is no regrets but grateful to all.”

The former Super Eagles player became the first African coach to take a team to the European Champions League, Ndubuisi Egbo.

Egbo, 47, led KF Tirana to their first league title in a decade back in July.

After holding the coaching job on an interim basis many times before, he was appointed partway through the season in late 2019, with Tirana eighth in the 10-team division.

“It doesn’t happen by mistake that we pulled together and surprised the journalists who had written the team off,” said Egbo, who was dismissed after two wins and two defeats this season.

“I know it’s impossible to erase the history we created. For me as the first Nigerian, African to win a title in Europe. Creating more history by taking my team to Europe’s top two continental competitions cannot be erased.

“I know there are great days ahead in life. Better is not good enough, I believe the best is yet to come.”
