If you want to get a trainer, and I totally agree that you should want to, I would go for someone who is old enough to get there a lot more quickly. Even a great player will need to be well into their 30s by the time they are skilled enough to be a 5.0 trainer. Albertrani would be about a 4.0 at best right now(estimating, but I'm sure it's not very far off). You can do a lot better. For example, Dimos Sanroma is 35 and about a 4.5 right now, and there are others much closer such as Shinzue Kentaro who by my calculations is probably over 4.9 already. I have yet to see a world that doesn't have great trainer candidates available, most of them will be in their mid-30s or so and already at 4.7-4.8 or so. These players require a relatively minimal amount of work to convert into a strong trainer. Albertrani will need years of work that in this case isn't necessary.
