News about Fabio Capello

Former England boss Fabio Capello (right) has blasted Brighton head coach Roberto de Zerbi (left) as a 'third tier' manager and questioned why the Italian is being linked with top jobs. The 44-year-old has refused to commit his long-term future to Brighton and despite their torrid performances, De Zerbi continues to be linked with other top jobs in the Premier League and across Europe.

Former England and Chelsea defender John Terry offered up a new explanation for  why the Three Lions were dumped out of the 2010 World Cup. Fabio Capello's side were hammered 4-1 by Germany in the round of 16 in South Africa but Terry revealed the squad's pre-match ordeal might have been a contributing factor to their lacklustre display. He claimed the players had asked to remove their FA approved Marks & Spencer suits during their journey to the fixture, with conditions on the team bus less than ideal.

A former Manchester United striker has weighed in to give his opinion on the Cristiano Ronaldo-Lionel Messi debate. Messi and Ronaldo are the two standout stars of their generation, winning 13 Ballon d'Ors and numerous titles between them, but it has long been a divisive issue in the game over who is better. Several big names have sided for one or the other, with the likes of Fabio Capello and Gary Lineker on the Argentine's side, while others such as Roy Keane have backed Ronaldo.

IAN HERBERT IN MADRID: Fabio Capello has said that England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is 'a problem' and that the national team are vulnerable because of 'fear' when they reach international tournaments. The former England manager, who left two years after the team's disastrous 2010 World Cup, declared at the Laureus Awards in Madrid that Pickford was sometimes afraid to play the ball out to his defenders, pumping it long and handing possession back to opponents. 'There are some problems with the keeper,' he said. 'It's good sometimes. Sometimes he's really, really good. I saw the game that they lost against Italy - the ( European Championships ) final at Wembley (in 2021). After 20 minutes, he started to shoot long ball.'

Former England boss Fabio Capello has urged Juventus to sign Mason Greenwood this summer as one of several new signings to help them compete with Inter Milan. Capello, 77, has seen his former club Juventus trail 20 points behind Serie A's runaway leaders Inter this term, and they will struggle to match other European heavyweights in a financial battle for top players, so they must find another way. He has named Greenwood - who is on loan at Getafe from Manchester United this season - among the names that the Italian club should seek in the transfer window.

When naming football's top-ever boss, Jamie Carragher snubbed both Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, but reserved special praise for a legendary Barcelona head coach. Thierry Henry of Sky Sports hosted a game of 'Winner stays on' with Carragher first naming Fabio Capello as a more effective coach than former Liverpool Champions League champion Rafa Benitez.

VIEWING BY CHRIS CUTMORE: The scars on Jay Bothroyd's body tell a tale. Several stories of raging pain and thinning skin, as well as one of police brutality were documented. Some of the scars you can see and feel include thickened ridges on his arms and legs, or the crack in his skull. Then there is the scare you can't see, the one that is partially responsible for many of the others. This scare may have killed him. It's almost a wonder that it hasn't already happened. He says, 'I'm blessed.' I agree. Bothroyd is the first footballer to play for England or even in the Premier League while suffering from epilepsy.

Jose Mourinho has revealed that he turned down the opportunity to become England manager in 2007 after being offered the Three Lions job before Fabio Capello became the national team coach. Since stepping down in January as Roma's board decided for a change in the roster, the 61-year-old is now out of administration. However, if England calls after this year's European Championship, it would be the second time Mourinho has turned down the job as he explained that before Fabio Capello took over in 2007.

Despite demanding a new deal, Chelsea, Man United, and Tottenham boss was relieved of his jobs with the Serie A team, who currently sits ninth in the league table. The sacking of a coach who'wrote an unforgettable tale' by leading the team to two European finals was highlighted today by Italian newspapers. Now, Mourinho, who was seen screaming with tears in his eyes yesterday, has sent the supporters a cryptic farewell. 'Sudore, sangue, lacrime, allegria, amoR, fratelli, storia, eternità, eternità, he captioned it on Instagram.'

Despite applying for a new contract, the Portuguese manager was forced to leave his position with the Serie A side, who currently sits ninth in the league table. It comes after his constant media guerrilla warfare angered the club's Americans, and he left fans ecstatic after five red cards during his tenure as coach. Since winning only one of their last six games, Rob's last game in charge was against AC Milan, who was compelled to watch from the stands due to suspension. Mourinho's eyes welled up when he was given a farewell by fans, but a new video of him leaving the training ground with tears in his eyes has surfaced.

On Tuesday morning, Roma announced the dismissal of manager Jose Mourinho, putting an end to his two-and-a-half years in the Italian capital. Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham boss Chris Coleman won the Europa Conference League for the first time in his first season as the team advanced to the Europa League final last term before losing on penalties to Sevilla. Roma have fallen apart badly in 2023-24 and currently sit ninth in Serie A, pushing the board to step in and relieve Mourinho of his duties. From his 138 games in charge, he has a record of 60 victories, 30 draws, and 40 losses.

ALVISE CAGNAZZO: Roma have been like the Titanic, beautiful and fragile, but not have brave captains eager to save it. Many players don't appear to have leadership abilities, and the team is entrusted to do-good but partially naive guys. His way of playing football became predictable as a result of his time at Tottenham and other clubs. Mourinho argued with the referees and his diplomatic links with Roma deteriorated over time.

Newcastle's palpable sense of outrage will not be quenched by the revelation that UEFA has chosen not to follow plans on interpreting the handball statute that would have barred PSG from being eligible for their spot-kick. When it comes to handball penalty decisions, the issue lies in a discrepation between the Premier League and the Champions League. The rules are getting tighter in European competition, with Newcastle being the new victims.

The Italian grandmaster had previously worked at San Siro and claims he warned Berlusconi about his own player's reputation. Ronaldo was under Capello at the Santiago Bernabeu for six months before Berlusconi bought him in January 2007 for £6.5 million, despite the manager's warning.

BY TOM COLLOMOSSE: Any discussion of English and Italian football isn't complete until Fabio Capello is brought into the discussion. When he became England's second overseas boss in 2007, he was one of Europe's most successful managers, after Steve McClaren was fired in 2007 after failing to lead the team to Euro 2008. Despite good results in qualifying, Capello's side suffered at the 2010 World Cup, and even though they made it to Euro 2012, Capello's side resigned before the tournament due to a dispute with the FA over John Terry's removal as captain.

According to PR experts, David and Victoria Beckham's candid Netflix documentary would make the pair one of the world's most popular couples in the last three decades as they finally reveal their truth about some of the most talked about moments. The four-part series, which was released on YouTube this morning, may have pushed them into an elite bracket alongside the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Obamas and George, and Amal Clooney, of being one of the world's most recognisable power couples. Posh and Becks have been seen as a 'Brand Beckham' on television, and it may be that David has finally earned him the knighthood he so desperately needs. Following David's dismissal of Argentina as his public enemy number one after he was shown off in the series, the two talk about some very personal topics in their lives, including David's battles with his mental stability after he was ranked No. 1 in the World Cup. Former Spice Girl Victoria weeps over David's suspected affair with Rebecca Loos, and admits it was the 'hardest' time of her life.

David Beckham explains how Fabio Capello's ultimatum put a strain on his marriage with his wife Victoria. The Beckham family lived in Los Angeles, with David playing his football with the LA Galaxy. He found himself doing the same during Fabio Capello's time as England boss, after being compelled to prove himself at Real Madrid.

Fans of David and Victoria Beckham's enchanting time living in Los Angeles have been given a glimpse at their collection of home movies. After a turbulent time in Spain involving an alleged affair with Rebecca Loos, the family migrated Stateside in 2007. Viewers enjoyed a sweet video of David and Victoria enjoying the Los Angeles lifestyle with their sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz in their Netflix series BECKHAM.

David Beckham has recalled the time when Fabio Capello told him he would never play for Real Madrid again. By the time he appeared for Los Blancos in his fourth season at the Santiago Bernabeu, the former England captain had played 124 times. After Capello returned to the club for his second stint as boss in 2006, things began to go wrong for him.

This former footballer continues to divide opinion in light of his accolades over his lengthy career. After beginning his career with Real Madrid, he selected one of the most highly coveted awards in European football with Liverpool. He later sank his boots and take up managerial positions that took him around the world after a whizzling ride through the Spanish second division in his youth.

ROB DRAPER FOR THE MAIL On SUNDAY: Football is about men in boots, not men in suits, not men in suits, as a colleague told me last week, quoting a wise sports editor who argued that football is now a phenomenon. The game is about players, not administrators and directors. The glory game, as Danny Blanchflower christened it, is about nights like those at the Etihad, the passion of followers, the sheer majesty of a player like Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland's ecstasy, Bernardo Silva's ferociousness, and Jack Grealish's adoration. We've not seen anything quite like Manchester City's 4-0 demolition of Real Madrid since Barcelona defeated Manchester United at Wembley in 2011. In a Champions League final in 1994, Fabio Capello's Milan defeated Johan Cruyff's Barcelona 4-0, in the game of the decade. This was a similar degree of evisceration, a triumph of Pep Guardiola's footballing vision, and a tactical landmark for the ages.

It has been revealed that former Fabio Capello's assistant manager Italo Galbiati has died at the age of 85.

Carlo Ancelotti has been dubbed 'the most influential Italian coach' of all time' by Fabio Capello, who claims that running Brazil would be a "dream" come to an end to the 63-year-old's career. After Tite's World Cup quarter-final loss to Croatia last year, Ancelotti was referred to the Brazil job.
