Official: F. Cannavaro will coach "Serie A" club

One of the greatest defenders of all time Fabio Cannavaro will coach his hometown club.

It's officially announced that the 50-year-old specialist has joined hands with the team "Udinese".

However, the 2006 World Cup champion may not stay long at his new club - the contract is signed only until the summer of this year.

"Udinese" is facing relegation from "Serie A" - currently the team is only in 17th place in the championship.

In the past, F. Cannavaro has coached clubs like "Guangzhou", "Al-Nassr" or "Tianjin Quanjian".
