Besnik Prenga (born 5 June 1969) is an Albanian retired football player and current coach who most recently managed Laçi in the Albanian Superliga.

Club career

[edit]

Prenga played the majority of his career in Croatia. He was at Dinamo Zagreb between 1997 and 1998 but featured in only one Champions League game.[1]

International career

[edit]

Prenga has been an Albania international for two years, making two appearances between 1992 and 1994.[2][3]

Managerial career

[edit]

Prenga begun his managerial career with the under-19 side of NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac. In the 2016–17 season, he led NK Lokomotiva U19 to their first championship after a goalless draw versus Dinamo Zagreb U19 in May 2017.[4]

NK Lučko

[edit]

On 12 June 2017, after two years without a senior club, Prenga joined Lučko for the 2017–18 season.[5] His spell wasn't successful, as he was in charge for only four matches before being sacked in September.

Laçi

[edit]

On 6 June 2018, Prenga signed a one-year contract with Laçi of Albanian Superliga.[6] His first game in charge was the first leg of 2018–19 UEFA Europa League first qualifying round against Anorthosis Famagusta.[7] The team lost 2–1 at Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium despite scoring first.[8] In the second leg, Prenga won his first match as Laçi manager thanks to a late winner of Myrto Uzuni for a 1–0 win, which was enough to clinch the qualification by the away-goal rule.[9]

Personal life

[edit]

His son Herdi is also a professional footballer at Inter Zaprešić. His niece Arjola is a professional volleyball player in Norway.[10]
