Zagreb, Croatia – Monday, April 14, 2025 – Former Ballon d’Or winner Fabio Cannavaro has been officially relieved of his duties as manager of Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb.

The announcement comes after a brief four-month tenure in charge of the club.
Cannavaro’s time in Zagreb was short-lived, overseeing a total of just 14 competitive matches for the Croatian side.
While the club has not yet released specific reasons for his dismissal, such a swift departure suggests that results or the overall direction of the team did not meet the expectations of the Dinamo Zagreb hierarchy.
The Italian legend took over the reins with the aim of leading Dinamo Zagreb to further success in the Croatian league and in European competitions. However, his short reign has come to an abrupt end.
This news will undoubtedly spark speculation about Cannavaro’s next managerial move and the potential candidates who might be in line to take over at the helm of Dinamo Zagreb. The Croatian club will now begin the search for a new manager to steer them forward.
