Official: Cannavaro named coach of Uzbekistan national team

Former legendary defender Fabio Cannavaro has landed a new job.

The Italian has been officially appointed as the coach of the Uzbekistan National Team.

For Cannavaro, Uzbekistan is the second national team he will manage after previously being in charge of the Chinese National Team.

He will have the opportunity to manage for the first time at the World Cup in 2026, after Uzbekistan secured a ticket for next year.

He was most recently at Dinamo Zagreb, but was fired due to poor results in the Croatian league.IndeksOnline/
