The Uzbekistan national football team is set to appoint Fabio Cannavaro as its new coach, with a salary of 3.5-4 million euros per year. Cannavaro, 52, will sign a one-year contract with the team. If the team performs well in the 2026 World Cup, Cannavaro may extend his contract or return to Europe. Cannavaro will become the fourth highest-paid coach in the world, behind Carlo Ancelotti, Thomas Tuchel, and Julian Nagelsmann, who coach the national teams of Brazil, England, and Germany, respectively. The opportunity to work with the Uzbekistan national team is a good one for Cannavaro.
