International
He made his debut for Albania in a September 1980 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Finland in Tirana and earned a total of 5 caps, scoring no goals. His final international was a May 1985 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Poland.[3]
In April 2012, he was named manager of Kastrioti Krujë[4]
His family was one of the rich families from Dhërmi and his grandfather was killed by the communists in 1944. In 1986 Marko was arrested for alleged gambling and perhaps as being member of that family. He also is the cousin of former Albania international goalkeeper Foto Strakosha.[5]
