Migen Memelli
Migen Memelli (born 25 April 1980) is an Albanian professional football coach and a former player. Regarded as one of the best strikers of Albanian football, he was known for his goalscoring ability, and has twice been the top goalscorer in the Kategoria Superiore. Club career Early career Memelli began his professional career with Skënderbeu in 1999 as a 19-year-old, where he scored 9 goals in 26 league games but could not help his side further as they finished bottom of the table and were subsequently relegated from the Kategoria Superiore. He also scored three times in the Albanian Cup which took his tally to 12 goals for the season in all competitions. He left the club following their relegation and joined Superiore side Teuta in the summer transfer window of 2001, netting 4 times in 19 games in his first season to help his side finish in a respectable 4th place in the league. He also scored another four goals in the Albanian Cup as Teuta reached the semi-finals. The following season he scored 8 goals in 21 league games as Teuta finished 4th once again. He also scored three goals in the Albanian Cup as his side reached the final, which they eventually lost 1–0 to Dinamo Tirana, as he came on as a 63rd minute for Gentian Begeja in the final. He moved to Elbasani in 2003 and immediately became a first team player, netting 12 league goals in 29 games as the team finished one place above the relegation zone. In the Albanian Cup he scored a first half hat-trick against Devolli, and added another goal against Albpetrol as he reached the quarter-finals, and ended the season with 16 goals in all competitions. He joined newly promoted side Laçi in 2004 but did not have a fruitful experience, only featuring in four league games and scoring just once before returning to Elbasani in January 2005. He helped the club finish runners-up in the league with his 4 goals in 17 games, as well as scoring another goal in the Albanian Cup quarter finals as his side were knocked out by Teuta, taking his goal tally for season to six goals in all competitions for both clubs, the lowest of his career at the time. He rejoined Skënderbeu ahead of the 2005–06 campaign, and he scored on his second debut with the club in the first week of the Kategoria Superiore in a 1–1 draw with Teuta.
