The head coach of the Uzbekistan national team, Fabio Cannavaro, stated that during the hour of work with the national team he encountered an internal problem. According to the words of the Italian coach, although the team regularly spreads false information about the activities of the coaching staff.

At the 2026 World Championships, the Uzbek team was unable to reach the group stage, losing to Portugal (0:5), Colombia (1:3) and DR Congo (1:3).

Commenting on the situation around the election for UzDaily, Cannavaro found that part of the criticism was related to his status as a foreign specialist.

" Possibly because I am a foreign trainer. The rules that we were trying to figure out were not me, but European standards.. I still don’t understand why so much inaccurate information was spread.

The front head coach is a wonderful master of medicine, who has achieved good results. Ale tse cannot be a drive for constant criticism addressed to me. I am obliged to clarify this matter. I think that there is so much rich information in the world because there is a crit in the middle of the collection,” the Italian says with respect..

Guess what, Cannavaro repeated the achievements of Blokhin, van Basten and Beckenbauer in emergency situations.
