On 2 January 2023, the Albanian Football Association announced that it had reached an agreement with Sylvinho to be the new head coach of the Albania national team and that Pablo Zabaleta and Doriva would join him as assistant coaches. Seven days later, he was officially appointed as the head coach and signed an 18-month contract, where the goal of the contract was to qualify for UEFA Euro 2024. His debut on 27 March was a 1–0 loss away to Poland in a qualifier, but he subsequently guided the team to the finals with a 1–1 draw away to Moldova on 17 November. With four wins, three draws and only the opening loss, Albania won the group ahead of the Czech Republic on head-to-head.

On 30 November 2023, Sylvinho was given the Golden Decoration of the Eagle by Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama. On 18 December 2023, Sylvinho obtained Albanian citizenship.

A quick, reliable, and technically gifted attacking left back, Sylvinho was known in particular for his overlapping runs, as well as his crossing ability with his left foot; he also possessed good tactical awareness, defensive attributes, and concentration, which also enabled him to play as a midfielder, as a wing-back, or even as a winger occasionally.","0DC344593C67F298":"583","7850BFBCDDAACDE9":"Albania","F130A460B61EDB83511FAE53BCCB265B":"Corinthians Paulista (SP),Olympique Lyonnais","C0FE8DFCAA690E72":"http:\/\/www.fshf.org","DF1F83E13127F6C1":"Sylvio Mendes Campos,Sylvinho","160343B2F56DD1006D4E7F061757C207":"22500","A1A3C2B16933D2932CAA0F59CAFD2D37A7D990F044C6143D":"1930","9AF366BFF83B51E6BE6603E9444757A4":"
