Once you go Italian, you never go back

Turkish Super Lig club Fatih Karagummruk is clearly an organisation where lovers of the Italian game have the vote. Their coach choices suggest the club from Istanbul wants to add Italian flavour and a way of thinking to their ranks.After Francesco Farioli and Andrea Pirlo, Fatih Karagumruk wants another Italian coach: negotiations have been underway with the legendary Fabio Cannavaro for a few days. The former defender is back from his last appointment at the Serie B club Benevento – which ended with his sacking last February. However, the former Juventus and Real Madrid star could start again with a new adventure in Turkey. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7352382##Karagumruk has been pressing Cannavaro for days while waiting for an answer: the coach preferred to take a few more days than the one established to talk to his agent and carefully evaluate the proposal. In fact, there are some aspects on the contract that do not fully convince him. Namely, there is no agreement on the salary, and Cannavaro wants technical guarantees. The team lost the two strikers from last season: Fabio Borini and Mbaye Diagne both left after their contracts expired. The pair scored 42 of the 75 Fatih Karagumruk goals last season. Cannavaro doesn’t feel comfortable taking on the job unless the owners don’t guarantee the arrival of at least two proven goalscorers.A club in trouble and a cool guy in the dugout: “This is a great opportunity”Cannavaro also called his friend Pirlo, who experienced Karagumruk first-hand last season. Fabio is reflecting on the possibility of going to Turkey, with a definitive answer from the coach expected soon. If he were to accept, he would be the third Italian coach in the history of Karagumruk.
