On May 1, Beijing time, the latest news from a number of European football transfer experts such as Skira and Di Marzio showed that the Spaniards are considering changing coaches this summer, and they intend to invite former Evergrande coach Cannavaro to coach the team next season.
Di Marzio revealed that Espanyol will usher in a huge change next season. The team's current manager, Moreno, will not continue to coach next season. Chinese boss Chen Yansheng is considering replacing sports manager Rufit with him. As for the selection of new coaches, Chen Yansheng hopes that former Evergrande coach Cannavaro can take over espanyol. When the latter coached in China, Chen Yansheng admired him. It is reported that Chen Yansheng has contacted Cannavaro and started negotiations. It is also reported that the two sides have reached an agreement.
Born in 1973, Cannavaro was the first player to play at the back and win the double Player of the Year. After retiring, Cannavaro began to pick up the whip. He was the manager of Guangzhou (Evergrande) in 2014 and 2017. In the 2019 season, Ka Shuai led the team to win the 2019 Chinese Super League championship with 72 points.
On 28 September 2021, cannavaro had to negotiate with the club to terminate the contract due to the crisis of the Guangzhou team's parent company. Since then, the Italian young marshal has been idle at home. Earlier, Cannavaro said in an interview that the Italian Football Association had expressed its intention to invite him, so he refused to coach the Polish national team. Judging from the current situation, he is expected to land in La Liga to start his coaching journey in European football.
If Cannavaro takes over espanyol, it will undoubtedly be an important turnaround for Chinese player Wu Lei. Under Moreno, Wu Lei was completely reduced to a substitute, and if Cannavaro took over, the former Evergrande manager knew Wu Lei's technical characteristics very well. I believe that under the tutelage of Ka Shuai, Wu Lei may be able to regain the feeling of "scoring goals like hemp" in SIPG in the past.
