Fabio Capello (born June 18, 1946) is an Italian football (soccer) manager. He is currently the head coach of Juventus, one of the biggest clubs in Serie A.
Capello made his name in the early 1990s at A.C. Milan, leading a team including the likes of Paolo Maldini and Franco Baresi to four league titles in five years.
With a style that spurned the traditional Italian caution of catenaccio, in 1994 Milan routed a great F.C. Barcelona team 4-0 to win the European Cup. Although A.C. Milan surrendered the Serie A title in 1995 - finishing a disappointing fourth - Capello signed off from his six-year stint with the Rossineri by regaining the league championship the following year.
He then had a single season in charge of Real Madrid, guiding the club to the Spanish league title, before returning to A.C. Milan for a shorter and less successful spell.
He switched to A.S. Roma, winning the 2001 scudetto, or the championship of Serie A. Having guided A.S. Roma to its first honours in a decade, he left the debt-ridden club for Juventus, where he had played as a winger.
Having taken Juventus to the 2004/05 scudetto, Capello is one of the few coaches to claim championship victories in four major European cities (Milan, Madrid, Rome and Turin).
Prior to coaching, Capello was capped 32 times for the Italian national team, scoring eight goals. As a player Capello played for A.S. Roma, Juventus, and A.C. Milan.
