Artan Mërgjyshi (born 6 May 1968) is a former Albanian football player who spend the most of his nine-year career with Partizani Tirana, while he has also stints with other clubs such as Dinamo Tirana, Erzeni Shijak, Besa Kavajë and Apolonia Fier. He is also the current manager of Korabi Peshkopi in the Albanian Superliga.

International career

Mërgjyshi has only one cap with Albania. He played his first and only match with Red and Blacks on 24 April 1996 against the newest national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, playing full-90 minutes in a goalless draw.[1]

Management career

In January 2015, Mërgjyshi was appointed as manager of struggling Apolonia Fier with the only goal to avoid the team's relegation in Albanian First Division.[2] Apolonia, however, was relegated one division lower after losing 1–0 at Niko Dovana Stadium against the survival rivals of Teuta Durrës in the penultimate week of the 2014–15 season.[3]
