The Uzbekistan national team will compete in the World Championship for the first time in its history this summer.
Idman.biz reports with reference to "Championat.Asia" that a football legend could be appointed as the head coach of the team.
Thus, representatives of the Uzbekistan Football Association traveled to Italy and held negotiations with Fabio Cannavaro there.
The 52-year-old Cannavaro is currently unemployed. In April, the Italian specialist was fired from Zagreb's "Dinamo".
It should be noted that Fabio Cannavaro won the World Championship with the Italian national team as a football player in 2006. In the same year, he won the "Golden Ball".
Currently, the head coach of the Uzbekistan national team is Timur Kapadze.
