Fabio Capello

Fabio Capello was born 18 June 1946 and spent fifteen years as a midfielder, winning three Serie A titles with Juventus in the early seventies and another with Milan in 1979, plus two Coppa Italia trophies and 32 caps for Italy. He moved into management and in his first five seasons won four Serie A titles with Milan, then beat Barcelona 4-0 in the 1993-94 Champions League final. A year at Real Madrid brought La Liga at the first attempt; in 2001 he gave Roma their first league title in eighteen years. Two more championships at Juventus were later stripped in the Calciopoli scandal, and in 2006 he returned to Madrid for another La Liga crown. He took over England in December 2007, qualified them for the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, then resigned in February 2012 over a dispute with the FA. He coached Russia from mid-2012 until being sacked in July 2015, had a brief spell at Jiangsu Suning in China in 2017, was dismissed the next year, and retired.
