Football: Injury forces Cannavaro retirement
“I’m very sad. Football is everything for me in my life,” said the 37-year-old defender.
Cannavaro, who was named Fifa World Player of the Year in 2006 after leading Italy to World Cup glory, spent the last season with Dubai-based club Al Ahli but missed their final seven games of the season. Cannavaro has, however, confirmed he will be taking on a role as a technical adviser at the club.
“Unfortunately, my knee can no longer cope with playing football but I will be staying here for the next three years in an executive role,” said the Italian.
