Fabio Cannavaro's appointment as head coach of the Uzbekistan national team is being actively discussed abroad. Below is a final "portrait" based on the opinions of well-known experts and journalists.
Silvano Martino (football agent):
- Cannavaro is a former star who has mastered football at the elite level, and as a coach, he has experience working in different countries, in difficult conditions. The most important thing is to feel the new team correctly. For success, strong performers and team spirit must work simultaneously.
Adriano Ancona (journalist):
- This is the right decision. In Italy, he is remembered for pulling Udinese out of a difficult situation two years ago. "It's not Fabio's fault that the deal didn't continue," he says.
Sebastian Frey (former Fiorentina goalkeeper):
- "Kannavaro has a legacy as a great player and a decent coaching experience. With this capital, he can share confidence with the players, share his knowledge, and establish healthy internal competition.
Walter Novellino (famous coach):
- Fabio is also a strong person. There aren't many trophies and titles yet, but there are many opportunities. Throughout his career, he worked under great mentors - he can now transfer this school to his students, convincing them of his strength.
Summary:
The general mood around Cannavaro is cautious positivity: trust, hope, and the use of experience. Now the main task is to adapt to the local headquarters, increase intensity and discipline, and strengthen the team spirit. The upcoming matches against Kuwait and Uruguay will be the first test for the new concept. The goal is clear: a mature response to worthy participation in the 2026 World Cup through fieldwork.
