HONG KONG - Fabio Cannavaro has said he is standing down as interim coach of the Chinese national team and will instead focus on his role at the helm of Guangzhou Evergrande.
Cannavaro, who was in charge for two friendly internationals last month, released a statement on Chinese social media outlet Weibo on Sunday saying that trying to perform both duties made it difficult to spend time with his family. “Out of respect for the great country of China, I think it’s necessary to announce that I have decided to give up my job as head coach of the Chinese men’s football team,” said Cannavaro, who has been Guangzhou Evergrande coach since December 2017.
Cannavaro did not cover himself in glory during his short time in charge of China, with the side coming under fire from fans and media after losing to Thailand and Uzbekistan to finish last in the four-team China Cup.
