Don Fabio ponders retirement Tuesday 3 April, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello is said to be considering the idea of quitting the game at the end of the season.
The former Roma and Juventus tactician moved to La Liga last summer following the Calciopoli scandal, but has had his difficulties during his second spell at the Santiago Bernabeu.
His results-based football has been unpopular with fans and President Ramon Calderon recently admitted that the Italian would probably not stay on next season.
Now reports in Spain on Tuesday are suggesting that the Pieris-born Coach is considering the idea of completely retiring from football in June.
Real have had a disappointing season so far, having been knocked out from the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, results which have led to calls for Capello’s resignation.
However, the capital outfit are still competing for the League title despite the five-point gap separating them from leaders Barcelona.
And contrasting stories today are claiming that Capello could be confirmed on the bench if Real were to win the national championship.
“If we win La Liga then the logical thing will be that he continues in his position,” noted sporting director Predrag Mijatovic.
Now Fagio will have more time to spend on writing his secret memoirs.
