Fabio Cannavaro's career, Ballon d'Or winner in 2006, has taken an interesting turn after his stint as the technical director of Uzbekistan in the last World Cup. Now, the former Italian player considers coaching in Liga MX, being sought after by two Mexican teams.

An Italian Setting His Sights on Mexico

After his experience in Chinese, Saudi, and Croatian football, Cannavaro is interested in exploring new opportunities in less conventional leagues for Italian coaches. His performance at Benevento and Udinese was not as expected, motivating him to seek a new direction in his career.

Why Choose Liga MX?

Having played at the Azteca Stadium in the past, Cannavaro has a special bond with Mexico. His intention to work in MLS or Liga MX is based on his quest for new challenges and professional growth opportunities, temporarily distancing himself from the Italian Serie A.

Coaching Career

With a history that includes clubs in China, Saudi Arabia, Italy, and Croatia, as well as the Chinese and Uzbekistani national teams, Fabio Cannavaro has shown versatility and adaptability in different football contexts, making him an attractive profile for Liga MX teams seeking a coach with international experience.
