Coach Cannavaro leaves China's Guangzhou by mutual consent

The Hindu  

Guangzhou FC head coach Fabio Cannavaro has left the eight-times Chinese Super League champion club by mutual consent, the club said on Tuesday. Guangzhou, owned by embattled property developer Evergrande, announced on social media, ending speculation over the Italian's position after he failed to return to China as scheduled last Thursday. Cannavaro's position was under threat after losing the CSL title to Shanghai SIPG in 2018 and again two years later when Jiangsu Suning pipped Guangzhou to the crown. The departure of influential foreign players such as former Barcelona and Brazil midfielder Paulinho and his compatriot Anderson Talisca has hampered Guangzhou this season, although Cannavaro did steer the team into the CSL's championship round.
