It seems that Nenad Bjelica’s future in Dinamo is still uncertain.
Although it seemed that he survived a bad run in the HNL and that he secured his job with the victory over Varaždin in the last round, not everyone agrees in Maksimir about the fact that Bjelica should remain the coach.
The most famous football insider is now writing about it Fabrizio Romanowhich states the following: “Fabio Cannavaro is Dinamo’s first choice for a new coach if the club decides to replace Nenad Bjelica. The Croatian club sees Cannavaro as the perfect choice and he is the leading candidate.”

Dinamo was thinking about Cannavar even before hiring Bjelica
Let’s remind you, sources from Italy claimed that Dinamo is thinking about Cannavaro and after he dismissed Sergej Jakirovićbut then in Maksimir they still decided on Bjelica. It seems that part of the club’s leadership regrets that decision and wants to bring the Italian in during the winter break.
It’s Cannavaro the legendary 51-year-old Italian footballer and winner of the Ballon d’Or in 2006., and he has been coaching for 11 years. He had his first independent engagement in the Chinese GZ Evergrande. He then led Saudi Al-Nassr and Chinese TJ Quanjian, before returning to GZ Evergrande and winning the championship with him in 2019.

Bjelica successful in the Champions League, but not in the HNL
About the dismissal of Nenad Bjelica executive board Dinamo discussed after the defeat against Lokomotiva in the penultimate autumn round of HNL, but then it is decided to stand behind him. However, it is no secret that Dinamo is dissatisfied with the results in the championship, where they are seven points behind Rijeka and Hajduk.
Bjelica has had a poor performance since returning to Dinamo in HNL of four wins, four draws and three losses. He is much more successful in the Champions League, where the Croatian champion is fighting for the knockout stage. There, Bjeliča’s team achieved two victories, two draws and one defeat.
