Cannavaro puts rumours to rest: “Coaching Uzbekistan is my dream!”

Uzbekistan national team head coach Fabio Cannavaro has responded to rumours that he could leave the team and take charge of the Italian national side.

According to TodayPress TV, citing Championat, the experienced coach was asked whether reports about his possible departure were linked to his previous remarks about wanting to work with Italy.

“Coaching the Uzbekistan national team is my dream. It is normal to have dreams. Italy is my national team. I played there for more than 20 years. Every morning, I wake up and get on with my work with the Uzbekistan national team. Why don't you ask about football? Why are you trying to find something? Tomorrow, we will have some very good young players. I have been talking about Italy since the very first day. I have no problem at all. My contract runs until October 2027. There will be a new tournament in December. We will talk with the federation. I am happy here, so let's stay positive,” he said.
