Famed Italian coach Fabio Cannavaro has shared his candid and sincere thoughts on why he made the unexpected decision to work with the Uzbekistan national team. According to him, this decision was not accidental, but a well-considered and forward-looking step.
— Why did I accept Uzbekistan's offer? Because this team has qualified for the World Cup. This is a monumental historic opportunity not only for me but also for the players. It will be our first experience, and undoubtedly, it will become a significant and unforgettable tournament, — Cannavaro stated.
The coach emphasized the word "we." He noted that the World Cup will serve as a true school of experience for his players. The tournament will elevate young footballers to a higher stage, strengthening them both mentally and tactically.
Cannavaro admitted he initially planned to work in Italy, waiting for offers from his home country. However, over time, he realized that merely waiting can become exhausting.
— If opportunities do not arise, one must expand their horizons and test themselves in a new environment. For me, Uzbekistan has become precisely such a new chapter, — he added.
For the 52-year-old coach, this decision represents not just a change of workplace, but a determined step toward embracing a new footballing culture, new challenges, and big ambitions. Now, Cannavaro and the Uzbekistan national team face the formidable task of making their mark on the world stage.
