It's not easy! The former head coach of the national football team has been re-employed in Europe! His debut will be against a Premier League giant! If we simply compare achievements, Guangzhou Evergrande is undoubtedly the most successful club in the domestic league. Besides investing heavily to introduce excellent domestic and foreign players, the coaches are also very distinguished. "Silver Fox" Marcello Lippi and "Big Phil" Luiz Felipe Scolari are both World Cup-winning coaches. Even Fabio Cannavaro, who was a young coach, had numerous honors during his playing career, including World Cup winner, FIFA World Player of the Year, and UEFA Footballer of the Year. Compared to the aforementioned predecessors, Cannavaro's coaching resume seems quite "thin." During his tenure in the Chinese Super League, he led Guangzhou Evergrande to win the 2018 Super Cup and the 2019 Chinese Super League championship, making him a meritorious coach in the history of the club. Additionally, he also served as the interim head coach of the national team. However, upon returning to Europe, he seemed to have been playing the role of a firefighter. First, in September 2022, he became the head coach of Benevento in Serie B, but unfortunately, due to poor results (3 wins, 7 draws, 7 losses), he was sacked by the club. Then in April 2024, he took over Udinese in Serie A in a precarious situation, helping them secure relegation with a record of 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss, finishing 15th. However, he did not receive a contract renewal. It is reported that Cannavaro signed a…

The big news is out - Cannavaro has arrived! Dinamo Zagreb, the Croatian powerhouse, has officially announced the appointment of Fabio Cannavaro as their new head coach. The "Golden Ball Defender" has finally found a new home and will make his debut on January 3rd to prepare for the winter training. With 22 league titles, 16 cup victories, and a UEFA Cup trophy, this is indeed a high starting point for Coach Car! Although Dinamo Zagreb has brought in Coach Car, their trust in him is not yet at full capacity, as they have offered him a short-term contract. What does this mean? It's like a "probation period," where he must deliver results before discussing a renewal. To be fair, the big clubs aren't foolish; while Coach Car has Serie A experience, he hasn't yet proven himself at a European powerhouse, so it's reasonable to start with a "short-term trial." Coach Car is truly a stand-up guy. He was owed 1 million euros by Guangzhou FC and angrily took them to FIFA, almost causing their new season entry to fall through. However, at a critical moment, Coach Car softened his heart and withdrew the lawsuit, giving his old club a lifeline. Speaking of which, we must criticize Guangzhou FC's actions. Coach Car had agreed to a settlement with Guangzhou FC, with each installment to be repaid slowly at 200,000 RMB, but what happened? Nothing but silence! The money didn't arrive on time, and the settlement agreement was nullified! At this point, Coach Car could have continued the lawsuit, but he…

On January 3rd, Fabio Cannavaro officially became the head coach of Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb, bringing this news back into the public eye. This decision is undoubtedly a significant turning point in his career, transitioning from the Chinese Super League to the mainstream European football scene. For Cannavaro, this is no small matter. Everyone knows that Cannavaro's name is well-known in Chinese football. He has led Guangzhou FC to numerous honors, especially his coaching style and deep bond with the team, which has won widespread recognition from fans. However, now, Cannavaro's goals are clearly not limited to this; he has chosen a more challenging stage - Europe. Dinamo Zagreb is not only a powerhouse in Croatia but also a club with a glorious history. The club has won 22 Croatian First League titles, 16 domestic cup championships, and even lifted the UEFA Cup trophy, making it a representative of Croatian football. For Cannavaro, being able to coach such a team with a rich heritage and ambitious aspirations is undoubtedly a rare opportunity. Many people may ask: Can he really make a name for himself in Europe? Although Cannavaro's resume is commendable in the Chinese football world, his coaching experience in Europe is relatively limited, which makes many question whether he can adapt to top-level European football. Honestly, the short-term contract offered by Dinamo Zagreb to Cannavaro has a bit of a trial run flavor. This club obviously has some trust in Cannavaro, but they are not entirely sure if he can immediately deliver satisfactory results. Although Cannavaro achieved success with…

Fabio Cannavaro's sense of justice helped Guangzhou FC overcome difficulties. As we all know, due to the team owing him 1 million euros in wages, Cannavaro took Guangzhou FC to FIFA, which meant that the team had to reach a settlement with Cannavaro to be admitted to the new season. Fortunately, Cannavaro was still willing to help his former club. Even though the first mediation did not result in Guangzhou FC paying the agreed amount of 200,000 RMB per period, Cannavaro gave them another chance. He withdrew his lawsuit at the international arbitration court, allowing Guangzhou FC to participate in the new season. Cannavaro's support for Guangzhou FC has earned him praise from many fans, who hope he will return to coach in the Chinese Super League (CSL). His coaching abilities are highly anticipated, especially after his performance in Serie A last season. However, will Cannavaro return to the CSL? Recently, his destination has been revealed, and a top club has officially signed him. What's the situation? Recently, Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb announced that Fabio Cannavaro would become their new head coach. Yes, you read that right.

Dinamo Zagreb, founded in 1945, has won the Croatian First League 22 times, the Croatian Cup 16 times, the Croatian Super Cup twice, the UEFA Cup once, and finished as runners-up once. Cannavaro will officially take over as head coach on January 3rd, marking the start of his new career. He will lead the team in winter…

In the international football arena, the name of Fabio Cannavaro has once again made headlines. The 51-year-old Ballon d'Or winner previously coached at Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League, Benevento and Udinese in Italy, leading Udinese to complete their relegation battle in the 2023-24 season. However, he was unable to continue coaching at Udinese. After being unemployed for half a year, Coach Cannavaro won the favor of Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb. Recently, Dinamo Zagreb officially announced that Cannavaro has been appointed as the new head coach and will make his debut on January 3rd. His first match with Dinamo Zagreb will be against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League group stage on January 23rd. As a player, Cannavaro had a brilliant career, playing for European giants such as Juventus and Real Madrid. He also captained Italy to win the 2006 World Cup and was successfully elected as the Ballon d'Or winner. After choosing to become a coach, Cannavaro's resume mainly focused on China and Italy. During his time coaching in the Chinese Super League, he coached teams such as Tianjin Quanjian and Guangzhou Evergrande, and even temporarily served as the head coach of the Chinese men's national team. In Italy, Cannavaro once served as the head coach of Serie B team Benevento. However, after taking office for less than 5 months and achieving a record of 3 wins, 7 draws, and 7 losses, Cannavaro was unfortunately dismissed. Last season, Udinese only managed 4 wins, 16 draws, and 12 losses after 32 rounds of matches, leaving the team deep in…
