Former Italy defender Fabio Cannavaro says he would like to manage in England one day.

The 46-year-old, who captained his country to their World Cup success in 2006, is currently manager of Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League but says he keeps a keen eye on the English top flight.

He is determined to manage in the Premier League and in Europe one day when he decides to leave his role in China, citing Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola as two influences on his football philosophy.

“I hope so. I watch every game in the Premier League and I like the ambiance and culture of football in England,” he exclusively told Sky Sports News.

“I am in China to try to improve my system and idea within football. I am at one of the best Asian clubs and of course, in the future, I’d like to try one experience in Europe. I want to try the challenge of European football.

“I like the Klopp mentality but at the same time, I like the Pep culture about football because always we need intensity with and without the ball.

“But you need to control the game and try to win. I have my system and I hope one day you will see.”

Cannavaro has experienced the impact of the coronavirus outbreak in China but believes things are starting to turn in the country.

“The life here is starting to be like before. I’m so happy because we have been fighting Covid-19 for a long time,” he said.

“The situation in China is much better. I’m really upset for the European situation but not [for the one] in China.

“You just need to be careful and do the right thing and just move around only when you can’t stay at home.”
