Fabio Cannavaro

“I'm a coach who admires attacking football. I want my teams to look to win.”

“After winning the World Cup and the European Footballer of the Year award too, I do not think I can ask for anything else.”

“I'm definitely not a perfect coach and it's impossible to make everyone satisfied.”

“Size has never been a problem for me.”

“My ambition with Al Ahli is to be an example for the local players. They must learn that professionalism is the path to success.”

“When the national team plays, everyone feels a part of it. Everyone comes together. And when Italians come together, we tend to do well.”

“I think to reach a Champions League final isn't easy, whether it's in Europe or Asia.”

“As a player it was always not easy to play against Australia. It was always very difficult.”

“If the opportunity came to manage Al Ahli then why not? I would also like to one day coach one of the globe's great teams such as Italy, Real Madrid or Juventus.”

“It's always good to win in the pre-season.”

“Football is everything for me in my life.”

“For me, my passion is just to play the game, it doesn't matter if no one comes to the stadium to watch.”

“I do feel I'm a player who has played well in 2006.”

“Of course, we all know Italy is an amazing country. We have stunning coastlines and a scenic countryside. We have a climate that allows us to spend a lot of time outdoors. We have fashion, we have food. But life in Italy is so good that sometimes we tend to rest on our laurels.”

“Prandelli is a coach with great experience and he knows how to work with young people also.”

“For a team of Evergrande's level, fans hope to have the top coaches and the coach will definitely face various pressures.”

“I can still remember watching Italy win the 1982 World Cup. I was just an eight-year-old kid in Naples, my hometown, watching the games with a bunch of people in the houses of relatives and friends. I can recall that when Italy scored, we would shout and hug, even though we did not all know each other.”

“The only regret I can have is that Inter sold a player that is now completely recovered. I said many times that I wouldn't have left Inter without showing who I was. But then they sold me.”

“I have thought about moving to Dubai for a while. It's a city that I love.”

“I watch every game in the Premier League and I like the ambience and culture of football in England.”
