Migjen Xhevat Basha (born 5 January 1987) is a former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.[3] Born in Switzerland, he represented that nation at youth international levels but played for Albania at senior level.
Early life and youth career
Basha was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, to Kosovar Albanian parents who were originally from Theranda (also called Suhareka)[4] and is the elder brother of Vullnet Basha, who is also a professional footballer. Basha went to Theranda for the first time in his early childhood to learn the Albanian language and attended the elementary school for several years. He returned to Lausanne before the Kosovo war broke out. During the war, his childhood home was burned to the ground and Basha's uncle was killed.[4] Those events had left a profound mark on his life.[4]
Basha started his youth career as an infant and aged 11 joined the local team Dardania Lausanne,[5] an amateur football club founded by the Albanian community in Lausanne, coached by Agim Cana.[6] Then he moved at an amateur club called Team Vaud,[when?] and in 2004 he moved to Lausanne. In his first year at Lausanne, Basha gained entry to the first team.[7]
Club career
Lausanne
He made his professional debut at the age 18, on 16 July 2005 in the 2005–06 season, in the match against Winterthur, which ended in a 5–4 victory for Lausanne, with Basha entering as a substitute in the 60th minute in place of Patrick Isabella. He scored his first goal in his third match appearance two weeks later, on 30 July 2005 in a 4–1 victory over Luzern. Basha once again came in as a substitute in place of Isabella in the 68th minute, scoring in the 88th minute and bringing the score to 3–1.

For the second half of the 2007–08 season, Basha moved to Rimini. He played 12 matches for Rimini in the second half of the 2007–08 season, since he made his debut on 2 February 2008 in the away victory 0–1 against Bari, entering as a substitute in the 77th minute.
Basha began the 2008–09 season with a goal on 17 August 2008 against Ravenna in Coppa Italia. The match finished in a draw 3–3 and ended a penalty shoot-out, where Basha missed a penalty and finished in a penalty loss 5–7. He debuted with a goal in Serie B on 29 August, scoring the equalising goal against Parma, 1–1.[8] He managed to score another two goals in the month of February against Treviso on 7 February, which finished in a draw 2–2,[9] and on 28 February against Ancona, a 2–1 victory.[10] He concluded the 2008–09 Serie B season with 38 appearances and 3 goals, and he also played in two-legged match against Ancona, where the first leg played on 6 June 2009 finished in the draw 1–1,[11] and the second leg played a week later on 13 June finished in a 0–1, with Rimini relegated.[12]

Basha made his first appearance for Frosinone on 21 August 2009 against Salernitana, where he scored his first goal for the club in a 1–2 victory.[13] Basha would go on to make 38 appearances for the club and score three times. Basha helped Frosinone reach the fourth round of the Coppa Italia and scored a goal against Varese.
Atalanta
In June 2010, Atalanta, which had just been relegated from the Serie A, acquired Basha from Frosinone.[14] Basha made his debut for Atalanta on 21 August 2010 against Vicenza, playing the full 90 minutes as the match finished in a 2–0 victory.[15] During the 2010–11 season, he played 7 matches as a starter in total 23 appearances.
Torino
Basha was sent on a one-year loan at fellow Serie B club Torino on 13 July 2011.[16] The Bull had the right to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season.[17]
Basha made his Torino debut on 27 August in the 2–1 win over Ascoli,[18] and opened his scoring account later on 10 December by scoring the opening goal of the 4–2 home win over Pescara.[19] He finished his first Torino season by making 36 appearances and scoring 2 goals, as Torino finished runner-up in championship which ensured a spot to Serie A for the 2012–13 season.

On 21 June 2013, Torino and Atalanta reached the deal to terminate the co-ownership for another €350,000, making Torino was the sole employer of Basha in the football field.[23] Later in April 2014, during the league match at Genoa, Basha injured his achilles tendon which required surgery.[24] He finished his third Torino season by making 25 appearances, including 24 in league.
Basha continued to be injured due to poor treatment by Torino medical staff, which lengthened his injury up to nine-month. This lead Basha to go and be treated by Bayern Munich medical staff Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt.[25] He was finally recovered in January 2015 made returned to the team for the match against Chievo on 6th.[26]
He returned on the field for the first time in 11 months by entering in the last moments of the 1–0 home win versus Napoli.[27] He wore the captain armband for the first time on 16 March in the 0–2 home loss to Lazio.[28] Basha returned to the score-sheet the next weekend where he netted the second of the 0–2 away win against Parma; the second ever top flight for him.[29]
On 30 June 2015, Basha officially left the club after his contract run out and the club decided not to extend it. He finished his Torino career by making 89 appearances between league and cup. He was described by Toro fans as a "Real Warrior".[30]

UEFA Euro 2016 qualification
Exactly one year after his second goal and last call-up, following his return to Torino in an impressive form also playing as a starter and holding the captain's armband against Lazio, Basha returned to the national team as he received the call up by the coach Gianni De Biasi for the fourth match of the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group I match against Armenia on 29 March 2015.
