Fabio Cannavaro's appointment as head coach of Dinamo Zagreb was a major event for Croatian football. However, the high expectations for the Italian could not be met.
Details: Cannavaro was dismissed yesterday, and the corresponding announcement was posted today on the official resources of the club from the capital of Croatia. Dinamo thanked the 2006 World Champion for his work, and his successor until the end of the season will be Sandro Perković.
It was reported that the head coach of the Zagreb team would be Widzew Lodz's coach, Željko Sopić, but he refused to return to his homeland and decided to stay in Poland.
Reminder: Cannavaro became the head coach of Dinamo at the beginning of this year, leading the team in 14 matches, winning half of them. The Zagreb team effectively lost the championship race, trailing by eight points to first-place Hajduk with eight rounds remaining and occupying third place.
