I promise that I'll extenuate that trust of Teuta directors on me."[7] Dosti started the season on 9 September by playing full-90 minutes in the opening match of 2017–18 Albanian Superliga against Luftëtari Gjirokastër which was won 2–1 at home.[8] His first score-sheet contributions came later on matchday 5, scoring his team's only goal in a 2–1 home loss to Partizani Tirana.[9] On 30 October, following the 2–1 defeat at Lushnja which was the fourth consecutive and fifth in six matches,[10] Dosti was released by the club due to bad performances and being tagged as one of culprits for the team crisis.[11]
