The information portal "newsport.al" has published (March 4) on its "Facebook" page, an article titled "OFFICIAL/ Balkans dismisses coach after 2 successful years of cooperation.
After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title does not accurately clarify the content, since only the head of the article indicates that it is about one of the Balkan coaching staff, where it is stated that "Artim Pollozhani will no longer be part of the Balkan coaching staff.".
Based on some of the comments made on this publication on "Facebook", the failure to specify in the title that it is about the departure of one of the assistant coaches from the Balkan team has led some readers to think that the football club from Suhareka has parted ways with the head coach, Ilir Daja.

In the post by "newsportl.al", it is seen that some readers have fallen prey to this misleading headline, believing that Balkan has fired head coach Ilir Daja. (see photo below)
Hibrid.info has researched using search engines and found the announcement of the Balkan football club on "Facebook", which indicates the departure of Artim Pollozani from the coaching staff (see here).
Also, to confirm that this is about the departure of the assistant coach from the current Kosovo champion, hibrid.info has found reports from some Albanian-language media, which have clarified this information in the title (see here and here).
Meanwhile, from another publication by Suharekas on "Facebook", hibrid.info has verified that the current Balkan coach, Ilir Daja, has signed a new contract, which keeps him in this position until 2026 (see here).
Analyze:
The lack of accuracy in the title of the article published by "newsport.al", that Balkan has removed Artim Pollozhani from his position as assistant coach, has left readers with room to think that head coach Ilir Daja has been removed from his position.
Also, findings from hibrid.info show that head coach Ilir Daja has signed a contract to continue in this position until 2026.
