Former Italy captain and World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro has drawn parallels between coaches Luciano Spalletti and Massimiliano Allegri, while suggesting that current forwards Randal Kolo Muani and Rasmus Hojlund lack the clinical edge of strikers from previous generations.
Speaking to Football Italia, Cannavaro noted tactical similarities between Spalletti, currently in charge of the Italy national team, and Allegri, the former Juventus manager. The 2006 Ballon d'Or winner also offered a blunt assessment of modern attacking options, stating that Kolo Muani and Hojlund are "less killer" than the centre-forwards he faced during his playing career.
Cannavaro's remarks come as both Spalletti and Allegri navigate new phases in their coaching careers, while Kolo Muani and Hojlund continue to adapt to the demands of top-level European football.
