Fabio Cannavaro believes all managers in Italy should accept coaching the National Team if given the opportunity.
In a recent interview on Italy’s Mattina 9, World-Cup winner and Ballon d’Or recipient Fabio Cannavaro spoke candidly about the difference between the pool of Italian players available in Lippi’s time and those available during Conte’s reign.
The lack of available talent in today’s National Team is a question of choices. In 2006, Lippi had at his disposal 66% of Italians, today there is about 36%. Less players means less talent. Those who are in the National Team today deserve to be there. The problem is there is no focus on youth development. There are not many Italian players that emerge from the system and the preference is to buy players from abroad instead of developing talent at home.
On the vacancy at the helm of the Azzurri:
It is the duty of all managers to say yes to Italy. I had an important past with the blue jersey and I will return to Coverciano, but I do not know when.
On today’s Napoli squad:
It is the strongest since the Maradona era but I also liked Mazzarri’s team because it was composed of players with great technical and human qualities. Sarri’s Napoli has made it entertaining for the fans, a lot of points and a lot of goals. It just lacked a bit of ruthlessness in decisive moments
On there being only one Napoli player heading to the EURO for Italy:
Insigne had a tremendous growth this year. It is not easy being replaced every game but he always reacted in a great way. For me, I wish for him to become the club leader in the future although for a Neapolitan, it is difficult to play in the shirt of their team. This is how it works: If the boy next door makes a mistake, you have to punish him for it. This happens to everyone though, not just at Napoli, it is the norm.
On his memory of the World Cup Final in Berlin:
We were strong but we were not the strongest. Lippi told us from day one that we could win the World Cup. After the Final, it changed all of our lives. To go from regular players to legends. It was a fantastic experience shared with extraordinary lads. We were young and reckless, today we realize how important it was.
