'From the Ballon d'Or'Fabio Cannavaro has been replaced by Croatia's prestigious Dinamo Zagreb.

Dynamo announced his separation from Cannavaro on his official channel on the 9th (local time). As of Wednesday, Cannavaro will no longer serve as Dynamo's first team manager. We sincerely thank Cannavaro for his hard work, dedication and kindness. I wish him all the best for the rest of his journey.

Cannavaro took the helm of Dynamo in December last year, replacing Nenad Bielica, but suffered only five wins (two draws and three losses) in 10 Croatian first-division matches.




Dynamo, which won the league for seven consecutive seasons from the 2017-2018 season to the 2023-2023 season, is in third place as of the 28th round this season, facing the risk of losing eight consecutive league games. It had 13 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses and 46 points, with an eight-point gap with the leader Heiduk Split (54 points).

On the 6th, the 0-3 defeat in the league's sixth-place Istra 1961 away hit an indelible blow. In the end, the Dynamo leadership decided to split from Cannavaro after about three months. The rest of the season is planned to be played under acting head coach Sandro Percovic.

Cannavaro is an Italian great defender of the time. He played for Parma, Juventus, and Real Madrid and won the Italian Serie A, Spain's Primera Liga, and Copa Italy. In 2006, he won the German World Cup as a member of the Italian national team and won the Ballon d'Or the same year.




Cannavaro, who suddenly left for China after retirement and took the helm of Guangzhou Hungda, returned to his home country after seven years of playing for Alnasr, Tianjin Kwanjin, and the Chinese national soccer team. However, he was dismissed in less than a season after being criticized for his worst leadership with a 17.65% win rate in Benevento.

In April last year, he took charge of Udinese, who was facing relegation, and saved the team, before leaving the team in June.

In January, he made a huge upset to beat AC Milan 2-1 in the European Champions League, but that alone could not preserve his position.




Cannavaro is not as good as he was as a leader as he was when he was a member of the Italian national team, along with Gennaro Gattuso.
