The appointment of Italian specialist Fabio Cannavaro as the head coach of the Uzbekistan national team has been widely discussed in the Kazakh media space, according to the Qsport YouTube channel. In its report, the publication assessed this decision as the beginning of a new era not only for Uzbekistan, but also for Central Asian football as a whole.
"Fabio Cannavaro is the new coach of the Uzbekistan national team. He is a world champion, a football legend. But in order to understand where the team is heading, it is necessary not to forget first where it came from," says the author of the video.
As noted in the Qsport analysis, the main and most difficult work was done by Srechko Katanes - he formed the team and made it through the qualifying stages. Then Timur Kapadze took responsibility and successfully completed the work, leading Uzbekistan to the World Cup for the first time in history.
Now, the governorship has been taken over by Fabio Cannavaro, a renowned figure in world football. While Kazakhstani journalists consider this a natural step, some have expressed the opinion that "only a coach who is a world champion doesn't automatically bring trophies."
We will collect the comments for this video and present some of them to readers.
The majority of users expressed their admiration for Uzbekistan and shared their opinions:
"Uzbek football will show the world what it is capable of. Good luck!" - says the Tajik fan.
"Bravo to the Uzbeks. I'm happy for them, Kazakhstan is a fan of you," wrote another user.
"I believe Cannavaro, he will lead the team far. Uzbekistan can win at least one World Cup."
Some responded with humor:
- "Why do all head coaches' surnames start with 'Ka'? "Katanes, Kapadze, Cannavaro... maybe the next one will be Kaka?"
At the same time, some expressed a cautious opinion:
"Uzbekistan qualified for the World Cup even without Cannavaro. Now the main thing is to participate appropriately."
"Ten percent of the team's success depends on the coach, the rest is in the hands of the players," wrote another fan.
Kazakhstani sports fans are unanimous: respect for Uzbekistan is great, and Cannavaro has the opportunity to take not only the team, but the entire region to a new level.
Thus, the discussions in the neighboring country once again demonstrated not only interest but also a truly friendly attitude towards Uzbek football.
