Club career
Born Lorenco Boriçi on 4 August 1922 in Shkodër, northern Albania to an Albanian Catholic family, Boriçi was pursuing secondary studies in the Xaverian College of his city, and was only 15 when he played as part of the first team of Vllaznia Shkodër in an August 1937 friendly against Dragoi Pogradec. He went to Italy, and registered at La Sapienza University, Rome, to pursue Jurisprudence studies, and in 1941, became part of the SS Lazio team, where he played in the first year with the reserves, and in the second year he was part of the first team, with which he scored 6 goals in 19 matches. Upon his return to Albania he captained Vllaznia Shkodër to two titles, the 1945, and the 1946 ones, after which, in 1949, at the age of 27, he joined Partizani Tirana. With Partizani Boriçi won the 1949 and 1954 titles. He closed his career at Spartak Tirana, but it is believed that he may have played some games also with Flamurtari Vlorë.[1]
International career
Boriçi made his debut for the Albania national team in an August 1946 friendly match against Montenegro and earned a total of 24 caps, scoring 6 goals. His final international was a September 1957 friendly match against China.[4] Boriçi captained Albania in winning the Balkan Cup in 1946.[1]
Managerial career
Boriçi became then manager at KF Partizani, a team which he led to winning the 1962–63, the 1963–64, and the 1970–71 titles, in addition he led also the 1963–64, the 1965–66, the 1967–68, and the 1969–70 Albanian Cups.[1]
Aside Partizani, he managed the Albania national team in five separate stints.
Personal life
Boriçi never married, but it was believed that he had fathered a son with a married woman. KF Tirana fans during the derbies against FK Partizani Tirana, would usually sing the name of his natural son, in order to make him angry, which usually succeeded.[1]

Nel 1972 inizia per Boriçi un altro importante capitolo della sua carriera da allenatore. Dati i buonissimi rapporti diplomatici tra Cina e Albania, si trasferisce proprio nella "Perla d'Oriente" dove diventerà anche allenatore della Nazionale. In molti sostengono che grazie alla sua conoscenza e preparazione tattica, l'ABC del calcio cinese sia proprio un frutto del suo lavoro. Coloro che lavoravano al suo fianco rimanevano impressionati dalla dedizione e dal tempo dedicato a perfezionare ogni dettaglio dentro e fuori dal campo
