According to the report of the West Asian media "Dubai Sports", the legendary coach of the Chinese Super League and former Guangzhou Evergrande coach Cannavaro is about to make a formal comeback after half a year of idleness. According to the report, Cannavaro has reached an agreement with the UAE giants Dubai Youth Nationals that he will become the team's new head coach, and his first task is to help the team "rebuild its strength".
The report pointed out that at present, Cannavaro has reached an agreement with the club, but the information such as annual salary and contract years has not been disclosed, and it is only clear that Cannavaro will take over the position of former Dubai Youth National Team coach Mahdi Ali. This season, Dubai's youth nationals have not performed well, currently only fifth in the league, not meeting the requirements of the club's top management, so the purpose of hiring Cannavaro this time is to lead the UAE giants out of the predicament.
Cannavaro is no stranger to West Asian football. At the end of his career, Cannavaro joined UAE giants Al Ahli and officially began his coaching career as an assistant coach with the team after retiring. Since then, Cannavaro has also coached Saudi side Al Nasr. Coaching the Dubai Youth Nationals this time is also a good choice for Cannavaro after a long time.
As a double champion in the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League One, Cannavaro has not found a new job since the official announcement of his departure from Guangzhou Evergrande in September last year, and the 49-year-old Cannavaro is still a "rookie" coach compared to European football, although he began coaching 8 years ago. After all, whether it is the previous results of coaching Tianjin Tianhai or Guangzhou Evergrande, they have been achieved in the chinese football industry with a low level of competition, which is obviously difficult to win the favor of european high-level league teams.
Therefore, it is not easy to say whether the coaching of Dubai young nationals can become a "boost" for Cannavaro's coaching career. Of course, Cannavaro's priority at the moment is to restructure his new team, and only in this way can it be possible to re-attract the attention of European football in the future.
