Italy World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro is taking charge of Turkey's Fatih Karagumruk.

Cannavaro is set to replace Andrea Pirlo, now in charge of Sampdoria, who stepped down at the end of last season.

The former Juventus captain has coached in China with Tianjin Quanjian and Guangzhou Evergrande, along with Al-Nassr.

Cannavaro had a spell last season with Benevento in Serie B, but lost his job in February.

Sky Italia says he is now in talks with Fatih Karagumruk over a contract.
