He used the 4-4-2 because it was the only formation that worked for Juve then. I can't believe people can't still see that.
It's not working when you're losing at half time and still stubbornly refuse to change the formation to an attacking one but rather keep it down and try not to concede more. He simply became too predictable and I can't believe we're even arguing who the better coach is between Ranieri and Capello.

I'm not comparing. I'm telling you why he used the 4-4-2. Look at the formations he used at Roma last season.

Say what you want about Capello but the guy is a good coach. The prospect of him+England was doomed from the start. We all knew that and were all collectively happy to watch that venture crash and burn the past 2 weeks.

But either way he's still better than Del Neri, Ranieri and Ferarra so I really don't think Juve fans should be laughing really hard at Capello with the track record of coaches we've had since '06

I won't laugh. Capello did exactly what I expected: deliver England for where they should be (getting through the group stage), but offering few answers to better competition (Germany) in an elimination tournament.

That said, he did his job. I see nothing wrong with that. This England team was hardly the blowhard superpower everyone tried to make them out to be. England may be over the moon for their crash-out, but my expectations were realistic -- not ridiculous -- and Capello met them.

No way. He's good but not one of the best ever.
Let's be honest here, his stats prove it. Not just the trophies, but also games won percentages with every side he coached during his glorious career.

The real motive of opening this thread is the hatred towards Fabio for benching Del Piero and leaving us when we were relegated to Serie B, not because his England elimination has proved anything regarding his quality.

It's not about being worse or better than the past coaches. The question was is he better than the ones we were linked with and the one we got.

There is logic in not preferring Capello to many other coaches if Juve don't have a coach. Afterall, time and time again he proves that his football philosophy is way behind the one that is currently ruling Europe and the world. But when your choices are Capello and Del Neri and when you say that you don't want Capello, it means that you want Del Neri, right?
Well, we got Del Neri, so lets see how this will go. Capello is an old guy who lives in the 90's and who won a lot in the 90's and the 21st century. You can be sure that he won't really make your team a force in Europe and all you can hope for is maybe a scudetto or two. Del Neri is an old coach who lives in the 90's and who didn't win shit in the 90's or in the 21st century and with whom you can be sure that you won't be a force in Europe, nor you will be a force in Italy and the most you can hope for is a CL spot.

So lets celebrate that we didn't get Capello and we got Del Neri instead.

The positive thing though is that Del Neri costs much less and you can fire him in the middle of November if you wish....which will probably happen anyway.

:agree:

He is more of a league coach rather than a elimination tournament one. We saw it with Juve. He easily won us two Scudetti but he failed in the CL. In the year after, he won La Liga with Real but his team got eliminated form the CL too early.

Now people can laugh as much as they want but it won't change the fact that he was a very good choice to help us do well in the league now that we are not even playing in the CL. I'd take him over Del Neri any day.

    You would take him over Del Neri any day, but guess what? Don Crapello wouldn't come to Juve because he's afraid and he knows that what he's got at his disposal isn't 100% guaranteed title pocket.

    Capello only signs for clubs that out of 23 players, got 15 top world class players.

    I like coaches who aren't afraid and are ready to face and challenge and work on a project, Capello isn't a gambler unlike Lippi, Mourinho, Ferguson, Ancelotti.
