Alain Taho (born 30 April 2007) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Italian Serie C club Inter Milan U23. Born in Italy, he has represented Albania at youth international level,[2] and was called up to the senior national team in 2026.[3]
Club career
Taho began playing football with ASD Centro Schuster in the Milan area before joining the youth academy of Inter Milan. He progressed through the club's under-17, under-18 and under-20 teams. During his time in Inter's youth system, he recorded 11 clean sheets in 40 appearances across youth competitions and the UEFA Youth League.[2]
On 22 February 2025, Taho was named among the substitutes for Inter's Serie A match against Genoa, wearing the number 60 shirt. He was included in the senior matchday squad amid concerns over the fitness of goalkeeper Yann Sommer, although he did not make an appearance.[2][4]
On 25 November 2025, Inter announced that Taho had signed a multi-year contract extension alongside youth-team players Mattia Zanchetta and Jamal Iddrissou.[5]
In May 2026, Taho received an eight-match suspension following an incident during an Inter Primavera match against Cesena. He had been sent off after protesting an refereeing decision, the sporting judge's decision stated that he ran towards the referee, made chest-to-shoulder contact and used insulting language.[6]
For the 2026–27 season, Taho was included in the squad of Inter U23, the club's reserve team competing in Serie C, and was assigned squad number 22.[7] His debut with Inter U23 came on 13 October 2026 against Giugliano after being named in the starting line-up.[8][9]
International career
Since 2023, he is part of Albania at youth international level, respectively representing the U17, U19 and U21 teams and he with these teams played 13 matches.
On 5 October 2026, Taho received an emergency call-up to the Albania senior national team for its 2026–27 UEFA Nations League match against San Marino to replace the injured Alen Sherri, who was ruled unavailable due to a muscular problem sustained during the team's match against Finland,[3] he was an unused substitute in the match.
