A golden cycle is heading towards its end. Edlir Tetova, the architect of Egnatia's historic success, is expected to end his collaboration with the Rrogozhina club at the conclusion of this season. Although success on the field has been undeniable, health factors and the desire to return to his homeland are dictating the future moves of the Durrës-born coach. The Tetova Era: From "anonymity" to the pinnacle of Albanian football Edlir Tetova took the helm at Egnatia in January 2023 (following a brief stint in 2022), taking on a project that had just begun to take its first serious steps. In approximately 3 years (across two phases), he managed to transform a provincial team into the most successful "machine" in Albanian football in recent years. Champion of Albania: 2 consecutive titles (2023–24 and 2024–25). Albanian Cup: Winner 2 times (2022–23, 2023–24). Albanian Supercup: 1 trophy (2024). Historic: Tetova is the first coach to bring Egnatia the championship title and its first-ever "Double" (Cup and Championship) in history. The news that has shaken the sports scene relates to the coach's health condition. A short while ago, Tetova underwent a delicate heart procedure for stent placement. However, according to confidential sources provided by Top Channel journalist Endi Tufa, the situation remains challenging. An issue that has arisen with another heart vein will require a new phase of intensive therapy. It is learned that Tetova needs at least 45 days of hospital treatment and full recovery. This prolonged absence during a decisive phase of the season makes it impossible to continue work at the pace required by Egnatia's staff and management. The Future: A Return Home to Teuta? With the separation from Egnatia seeming inevitable at the season's end, Edlir Tetova's future appears to be written in his birthplace, Durrës. Sources close to the Durrës camp indicate that Tetova is the leading candidate to take the reins at Teuta, replacing the current coach, Enkeleid Dobi. For Tetova, this would be an emotional return to the team where he began his career as a footballer, with the opportunity to work close to his family during his recovery phase. It remains to be seen what the official reaction of Egnatia club will be, but everything suggests that the successful "marriage" between Tetova and Rrogozhina is heading towards an amicable divorce for the sake of health.
