Cannavaro cannot guarantee staying with Udinese

Fabio Cannavaro cannot guarantee staying with Udinese next season.

Victory over Frosinone secured Serie A safety for the Zebrette, with Keinan Davis scoring for the 1-0 win.

Cannavaro said: "From the first day I arrived I knew it was very difficult, but as Capello said, not impossible. We worked a lot, it was a team in emergency from day one, it was not easy in many ways. They gave everything since we arrived, they were good and didn't give up anything, this is football and a team that puts you in difficulty when you play against them is relegated.

"I had already understood from Bologna that this was a team with values. Of course, the difficulty in playing at home was evident, but already from Bologna you could see that, when you prepared for the matches, the boys were super motivated and had an uncommon inner strength. The Bologna match gave me the awareness of being able to work on certain concepts, of having entered the players' head."

On renewing his contract, Cannavaro added: "I had to think about this, from tomorrow we'll think about something else. I had the sole objective of saving Udinese, then we'll think about it. These five matches were very intense, I saw some boys who gave you everything, who wanted to learn, not retreat. This is fundamental."
