There has never been such a big name in Polish football yet. The 48-year-old is one of the best defenders in football history. In 2006, he was awarded the Golden Ball for the best footballer in the world. A prize that usually goes to offensive players. He then scored 173 points, ahead of Gianluigi Buffon with 124 points and Thierry Henry with 121 points, followed by Ronaldinho and Zinedine Zidane. In the same year, he won the world championship with the Italian national team, and in 2000, the vice-championship of Europe. In total, he played a staggering number of 136 matches in the national team.
His club career was also very successful. With Parma, he won the UEFA Cup, two Italian Cups and the Italian Super Cup. With Real Madrid, which he joined in 2006 after being relegated to Serie B, he won two Spanish championships and the King’s Cup. After ending his football career, he decided to work as a coach. He spent most of this time in China – he led Guangzhou Evergrande, Tianjin Tianhai and the Chinese team. Al Nassr from Saudi Arabia also ran for several months. And so far, it is difficult to say that the results of the teams he leads are knocking on their knees.
Fabio Cannavaro’s job offer is already with Cezary Kulesza
Nevertheless, the Italian is interested in working as the coach of the Polish national team. – On the chairman’s desk there is already an offer of employment for the world champion from 2006 and the winner of the Golden Ball. And as I found out, it is analyzed – informs Sebastian Staszewski.
However, it is hard to suspect that Cannavaro really became the selector, due to his limited experience in working in the national teams. China has only led in two games as interim coach. In addition, the assumption that the PZPN will probably choose a Polish coach, who will not need time to get to know the players, speaks against the Italian. Already in March we are playing with Russia in the qualifying qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, and then in a possible final with the winner of the Sweden – Czech Republic match. So far, Adam NawaĆka seems to be the favorite to replace. We will know the new selector after the meeting of the PZPN board on January 19.
