Cannavaro took over the side with the League One season already underway, with Tianjin 11 points behind the leaders.
The Ballon d’Or winner led his side to the title and promotion to the Super League, but rebuffed the Beneamata’s advances.
It’s not being claimed that Cannavaro was actually offered the job, rather that he was sounded-out and explained that he wasn’t interested.
