Winning mentality

June 18, 1946
Born in Pieris (Gorizia) on June 18, 1946, for many Fabio Capello represents that model of inflexible and hard man tended only to the result. But if the results are what the shady trainer Goriziano was able to achieve in his distinguished career, it's hard to disagree. He is one of the few able to transmit to any team known as the "winning mentality". Although, like all hard, then is a person of great understanding and humanity. Capello is also known to have the particular virtues to cultivate young champions: would the names of Francesco Totti and Antonio Cassano. His debut as a player takes place at eighteen with the Spal. The year was 1964 and Fabio Capello was a central midfielder, maybe not sublime but footed by the excellent game viewing.
What remained even after and that allowed him to bring home that impressive "carnet" of victories that today all envy. The Rome buys it in 1967. To want is the President Franco Evangelisti himself. His first coach in Gambino is the true Oronzo Pugliese. Then comes Helenio Herrera. In a few years time hair becomes one of the columns of a mid level team, struggling in the League but that in 1969 he won the Italy Cup (thanks to his goal). It's a promising Rome, which bodes well fans. But the new President Alvaro Macchi is struggling with a wobbly budget and decides to sell the precious pieces of team: Luciano Spinosi, Fausto Landini and Fabio Capello. The Roma fans riot, but the supply is now final. For Capello opens a successful season. He won three League Championships and became the owner.

In 1991 the big break: Arrigo Sacchi's star waned, hair is called at the helm of the Milan of Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini and the three Dutch champions (Ruud Gullit, Marco Van Basten and Frank Rijkaard). In five seasons he won four league titles, three Italian supercups, one Champions Cup and a European Supercup. Capello is a coach gritty and supple. Adapts the game to the players he has. One year opts for a offensive game, the next one is concerned above all about not taking them. Has character to spare. But it's not always an easy character.
Argues with important players, who prefer to leave AC Milan rather than continuing to work with him. The most striking case is that of Edgar Davids. The Dutch, ceded in 1996-97 season in half, will the fortunes of Juventus. Leave Milan in 1996 after a Championship doing live two talents such as Roberto Baggio and Dejan Savicevic. The "hard" fly to Madrid and, on the first try, WINS la Liga. The consequence? The Spaniards Real fans elect him to hero, someone would want to erect a monument. It's a figure of speech, but there is no doubt that the personality of Mr Capello swept hearts Iberians. At home, however, Milan begins to go wrong. It runs for cover by calling back Captain hair, hard Yes but even tenderhearted, can't say no.

In June 2000 they finally reach the reinforcements of weight dreamed by all the fans. The Argentine Defender Walter Samuel, Brazilian midfielder Emerson and superbomber Gabriel Batistuta.
The team is finally ready to longed-for breakthrough. On June 17, 2001 Roma wins his historic third Championship. In many see in Capello the real "added value" of the team. He's the winningest coach of the Decade. Between AC Milan, Real Madrid and Roma on eight tournaments won six. And August 19, 2001 also won the Super Cup by beating Fiorentina 3 to 0. Then in late 2004 Championship comes the disappointment. For the fans of Rome of course. Yes, because the golden coach, the Italian football Rothstein, after a brilliant year with the giallorossi, had declared that the Roman city was fine and that he had no plans to leave. But, above all, had sworn that he would never, ever went to offer his services to Juventus. And yet, also because of a substantial return, looking for a new personal challenge, Fabio Capello changed his mind and reached the meadows of Turin.
