But the World Cup winner has always remembered his roots and after purchasing the land, Cannavaro has set about opening a football school to offer something back to the local community where he realised his dreams of being a professional footballer. Discussing the purchase, Cannavaro said: "I found everything destroyed, in fact I didn't find anything that was there. "I want to create a football school for the kids in the neighborhood and for those who want to come "It's not easy to distract young people from cell phones consoles and for this reason I want to create something beautiful Cannavaro started the sort of career that many could only dream of As well as playing for Inter Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid among others three league titles and a World Cup for his country in 2006 no team from the south of Italy had won the league before but all that changed with the so-called Saviour Napoli won the title in 1987 and 1990 and the stadium was renamed in his honour from the Stadio San Paolo to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona following his shock death at the age of 60 in 2020 Fans were gutted in 2019 when Don't Argue shuttered its Main Street pizzeria after five years of serving up its signature pies in Mount Pleasant Fast forward to early 2024 and Don't Argue is poised to make a comeback albeit in a slightly different capacity.  Don't Argue Slice Shop will debut on March 1, and the operation has the old recipes and new operators. The venture will run out of Soccavo, the soccer-themed Italian cafe at 1321 Commercial Dr that opened in the summer of 2022 here's where things get interesting: Soccavo is owned by brothers Dom and Frank Morra who also own Victoria Drive's Via Tevere pizzeria in East Van They are also the operators of Pizzeria Grano, which wraps up its run March 3 on Main Street - in the same location that Don't Argue was in The Morras got the okay from Don't Argue founder Nathaniel Geary to carry on the popular pizza spot's legacy as a slice shop inside Soccavo Fans of the original Don’t Argue Pizza will recognize some familiar favourites on the new slice shop menu with a few creative additions inspired by the Via Tevere team The by-the-slice pizza lineup will include classic Margherita in regular and spicy varieties; Pancetta Pineapple; Pesto Ricotta with fresh basil pesto; and Potato Mash topped with whipped potato The name "Don't Argue" stems from Vancouver's long-gone Don't Argue tobacco shop in East Van which was where Geary was originally going to set up his pizzeria before the deal fell through The address changed but the name stuck - and who's going to argue with that the Don’t Argue Slice Shop will be open inside Caffe Soccavo from 11 a.m Pizza slices will be available for dine-in pick-up or can be ordered for delivery.  The annual celebration Blue Night is scheduled for the 30
