Fabio Capello (born June 18, 1946 in San Canzian d'Isonzo (GO) ) is an Italian football coach and former football player . After he had already celebrated four Italian championship titles with Juventus Turin and AC Milan as a player from 1967 to 1980 and twice the Coppa Italia with AS Roma and AC Milan, he began an even more successful coaching career in 1991. In this he won another seven Italian and Spanish national championships and the greatest success of his career in 1994 was the UEFA Champions League .

In the meantime, Fabio Capello has gone from being a successful and prestigious club coach to being a national coach. From 2007 to 2012 he was in charge of the English national team until his retirement . Between July 2012 and July 2015 he was responsible for the Russian national team .

Player career

During his playing days in the 1970s, Capello was a midfielder with Juventus as well as with the Italian national team . In Italy, he gained fame mainly because of his goal against England (1-0) in 1973 , which led Italy to their first victory at Wembley Stadium. In total, he played 32 times for the Squadra Azzurra and scored eight goals. He took part in the 1974 World Cup in Germany , which, however, ended for the Italian team after their 2-1 defeat by Poland in the preliminary round. Capello played in all three games and scored against Poland to make it 1: 2 in the 85th minute. In 1980 he ended his career. In 2004 he admitted that he had taken performance-enhancing drugs such as the stimulant Micoren during his playing career .

Coaching career

In 1991 he became the coach of AC Milan . In a total of five years, he led the club in 1994 with a 4-0 final victory over FC Barcelona to win the UEFA Champions League and four championship titles. After a season at Real Madrid , with which he won the Spanish title in 1997, he returned to AC Milan for one season.

From 1999 he was coach of AS Roma , which he led to Scudetto , the Italian championship, in 2001 . From 2004 he coached Juventus Turin, where he replaced Marcello Lippi and won two championship titles. On July 4, 2006, he announced the unilateral termination of the contractual relationship with Juventus and moved again as head coach to Real Madrid , where he signed a 3-year contract on July 6, 2006. This time he was able to celebrate winning the championship straight away and enjoys an excellent, almost legendary reputation in and around Madrid. On June 28, 2007, he was dismissed as a coach by Real despite having won the championship title. His team policy and his defensive game system were criticized. He is said to have received a severance payment of 6.2 million euros.

National coach England

Capello once expressed his intention to take on a major national team at the end of his career in a few years . He achieved this goal on December 14, 2007. On that day, the English Football Association confirmed Capello's commitment as the successor to the dismissed Steve McClaren . He led the team that had previously missed qualifying for the European Championship with McClaren, after successfully qualifying for the 2010 World Cup to South Africa. However, the team could not meet expectations in the final round and were eliminated in the round of 16 after a 1: 4 defeat against Germany.

On February 8, 2012, the Italian resigned from his post before the 2012 European Championships after there had been a dispute with the association over the removal of Captain John Terry . Terry was removed from office on charges of racism . Capello's successor was Roy Hodgson .

National coach Russia

On July 16, 2012, the Vice-President of the Russian Football Association confirmed to the press that Fabio Capello would take over as coach of the Russian national football team . In the subsequent World Cup qualification , the Italian led the Sbornaja to win the group and thus on their way to the World Cup in Brazil. This success was honored by the association on January 24, 2014 with the contract extension up to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Almost exactly three years after taking office, the Russian Football Association ended the employment relationship with Capello on July 14, 2015, after qualifying for EURO 2016, despite the 2nd place and the qualification, did not go optimally. On the way to the World Cup in their own country, they did not want to jeopardize the EM interim goal and parted ways with the prominent coach by mutual agreement.
