Capello to quit in 2009 Thursday 12 January, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus Coach Fabio Capello has revealed that he will remain at Juventus until the end of next season and retire from the game in 2009.
In an interview in today’s Corriere dello Sport newspaper, the Juve tactician sought to put an end to the speculation surrounding his future, but will doubtless have set the rumour mill back in motion once again.
Capello confirmed that he fully intends to see out his contract, which expires next season, but left his options open for the following two years, after which he intends to call time on his coaching days once and for all.
"I have a contract and a project that ties me to Juve until 2007," he said, before quashing speculation that chief executive Antonio Giraudo will leave at the end of the season. "I don’t think Giraudo is going anywhere - he will stay."
Don Fabio then explained that he intends to keep working for another two years once his contract with the Bianconeri expires.
That statement will doubtless alert the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United, who are both known admirers of the successful Coach.
"Whatever happens I will quit in 2009," he continued. "The national team doesn’t interest me because I like to be a Coach that is constantly involved by the pitch-side. I wouldn’t mind coaching a World Cup team, though."
This time next year, then, expect a bidding war as offers flood in from Europe’s leading clubs for the talented 59-year-old.
