Albania coach hospitalised

Albanian national football coach Josif Kuze has been hospitalised here after suffering a stroke, local media reported Thursday.
"As soon as he is stable, Kuze, currently in a US hospital in Tirana after a cerebral attack, will be transferred by plane to (Croatian capital) Zagreb," said Alisa Demollari, spokeswoman of Albania's Health Ministry.
Croat Kuze has been at the helm of Albania's squad since May 2009.
The 58-year-old replaced Dutchman Arie Haan who quit after Albania's poor performance during qualifying matches for the 2010 World Cup.
