Fabio Cannavaro turns down job coaching China's national team

Releasing a statement, Fabio Cannavaro has turned down an offer to coach the Chinese national team: "Out of respect for the country that has welcomed me for many years I feel the obligation to announce that I have turned down the job as coach of the Chinese national team. I want to thank Guangzhou Evergrande and the Chinese federation for considering me for the coach of the two most important teams in the country: but the double load would have taken too much time away from my family. I hope to continue as coach of Guangzhou Evergrande and continue to contribute to the maturation of young Chinese players. A heartfelt good luck to the Chinese national team in their qualification for Qatar 2022. Thanks again to everybody."
