Fabio Cannavaro has admitted his dream is to coach the Italian national team, and he still doesn’t understand why Udinese chose not to keep him in 2024.

Fabio Cannavaro has revealed that his ultimate goal and dream is to manage the Italian national team and return to coaching in Italy. Speaking on Sky Sport Italia's Calcio Unplugged, the 2006 World Cup-winning captain compared national team management to a Neapolitan coffee, describing it as intense, short, and leaving no room for error during ten-day international windows.
Cannavaro, currently managing Uzbekistan, also expressed lingering confusion over Udinese's decision not to retain him after he secured Serie A survival in 2024. While acknowledging he values his international experience across Asia, Cannavaro admitted he misses the day-to-day adrenaline and routine of club management as his future in Uzbekistan remains uncertain.
