The experience was relished.
The interview with Cannavaro was full of surprises as he shared his philosophy of life while riding, mentioning, "Riding not only keeps me fit, but also relaxes me at mealtimes." Referring to one of his longest rides, he proudly stated, "I rode from Naples to Rome with only two breaks in between, and it was a very satisfying experience for me."
The interview turned to Cannavaro's coaching career, and he confessed, "I have six years of coaching experience, and I know very well that coaching in the

of time but full of glory." Talking about the future, he cautiously said, "I am not in a hurry to make a decision and fortunately I have the capital to wait. Before retiring, I never thought of becoming a coach, preferring club manager, but the Dubai experience ignited a fire within me."

After the latter offer, Cannavaro revealed, "After leaving the team last year, I considered coaching the Polish national team as well as accepting offers from Everton and Watford, and all these opportunities excite me. The Polish national team, in particular, is something I am looking forward to coaching, despite the tight timeframe for World Cup qualification preparations. At the same time, I have received offers from Arab and Asian teams, but I prefer to stay in Europe."

Full of longing, he said, "Napoli is a great team and I've been fortunate enough to be a fan since I was a child. I know that if I want to realize my dream, I have to work hard and gain experience, so let's see what the future holds."
Talking about the Italian national team's participation in
World Cup
On the prospect of Italy winning the Europa League, Cannavaro said: "Surprised that Italy won the Europa League, initially not seen as favorites, but Mancini led the team to create a miracle. Playing Portugal in the play-offs will be very challenging on the road, but we are used to making things happen in the face of adversity. As for the future, I hope Mancini can coach for many years, but I am also confident that I will be in charge of the Italian national team in due course."
Talking about German coaches, Cannavaro said, "German coaches are an example to learn from, especially Klopp, who can maintain a balance between both defense and offense. The Italians, on the other hand, are more accustomed to winning against the odds, and we surpass whoever presses us."
Finally, asked when he would return to work, Cannavaro said, "Where will I be in a few months? I don't really know, the most important thing now is to keep the status quo and see if there is an opportunity to return to coaching next year." (DD)
