UDINE, Italy — Italy's World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro has been given his first Serie A coaching job with relegation-threatened Udinese. Cannavaro becomes Udinese's third coach this season. He replaces the fired Gabriele Cioffi. Cannavaro was given a contract only for the final six matches of the season. His brother Paolo will be his top assistant. The move comes after a 1-0 loss at Hellas Verona on Saturday left Udinese one spot above the drop zone and level on points with 18th-place Frosinone. Udinese has been in the top division uninterrupted since 1995.
