Fabio Cannavaro Takes Over as Udinese Coach in Relegation Battle

Fabio Cannavaro, captain of Italy’s 2006 World Cup-winning team, has been appointed as the new coach of relegation-threatened Udinese in Serie A. Cannavaro replaces Gabriele Cioffi, who was fired after a disappointing run of results. Cannavaro’s appointment marks his return to coaching in Italy after a stint with Benevento in Serie B last season. He will be tasked with guiding Udinese to safety in the remaining six matches of the campaign.
