Playing career

He created the attacking trio Muça-Minga-Kola at Nëntori Tirana that was probably the best and most prolific attacking trio in the Albanian football at all times. All three players combined have scored around 400 goals for Tirana in little more than a decade.

Muça has won several championships and Albanian cups with Tirana as a footballer and as a coach.

International
He made his debut for Albania in an September 1982 European Championship qualification match away at Austria and earned a total of 16 caps, scoring 2 goals. He played in the famous December 1984 home win over Belgium and his final international was an October 1987 European Championship qualification match against Romania.

Legacy
He will be remembered by football fans as one of the finest Albanian footballers of the 1980s, skillful with the ball, but also distinguished as an extraordinary assist man, and a strong shooter. Muça's skills have been shown many times on the pitch: he could play in the center or the right side of the midfield.

Managerial career
Muça has had one of the most successful coaching careers in the post '90 footballistic Albania, first as Tirana and Dinamo then as Flamurtari Vlorë coach.

He obtained the FIFA coaching license in May 2008.
