HONG KONG (Reuters) - Fabio Cannavaro has said he is standing down as interim coach of the Chinese national team and will instead focus on his role at the helm of Guangzhou Evergrande.

Cannavaro, who was in charge for two friendly internationals last month, released a statement on Chinese social media outlet Weibo on Sunday saying that trying to perform both duties made it difficult to spend time with his family.
