On Monday, Udinese announced the departure of Gabriele Cioffi from the bench. The club immediately appointed Fabio Cannavaro as coach. Today, the Italian soccer legend was presented to the press. He gave his reasons for accepting the Udine club’s offer.
“When certain clubs call you, it’s difficult to say no. Udinese has a history of being a serious club, where you can come and work. It was certainly an intense time, the call came so quickly… but I was right to accept, I have the right motivations. It’s certainly a complicated time, but we’re starting from a good base. The team has its problems, but there are qualities, both technical and human. As I said to the players, if we wait game after game to avoid conceding goals, to do this and that, we won’t succeed. We need to think about raising the bar right away. Four wins aren’t enough, we have to raise the bar right away,” declared the new coach.
