Fabio Cannavaro's China future in doubt after notice
India TV NewsFabio Cannavaro's future as coach of Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande is in doubt after the team ordered the 2006 World Cup champion to corporate headquarters to attend an "enterprise culture studies class." The notice on the team website said the former Italy captain was expected to report before noon Monday, with captain Zheng Zhi taking over as acting coach. The order follows a string of disappointing results for the team, capped by a 2-2 draw against mid-table Henan Jianye on Sunday, the club's third-straight league match without a win. Following his playing career as a Ballon d'Or-winning defender, the 46-year-old Cannavaro coached in the Middle East and China, including a first stint with Guangzhou before returning to the club in 2017.
