Capello Does Not Dismiss His Past
Fabio Capello voiced his support for recently resigned Juventus manager Roberto Bettega, as well as the other members of the old Juventus management, Luciano Moggi and Antonio Giraudo.
zoom - galleria Roberto Bettega's resignation as member of the Juventus management signals the end of an era: with him the last element of the famous Triad, composed also of Antonio Giraudo and Luciano Moggi, has left the Old Lady of Italian football. The latter two, of course, having been involved in the famous Calciopoli scandal.
Many people have distanced themselves from the Triad, but not Fabio Capello. Once again, as he spoke to Sky on an interview, the ex Juventus coach, fresh winner of the Spanish Liga with Real Madrid, reiterated that the three ex Juve managers remain his friends.
"I am not one of those who go on the winners' bandwagon and then jump off", Capello said, "I have my dignity and Moggi, Giraudo, and Bettega, as with all the people I've worked with, remain my friends."
Don Fabio won two Scudetti in his two seasons with Juve, but the first was taken back by the FIGC due to the Calciopoli scandal, while the second was assigned Inter, which Capello and many other Juventus fans were particularly bitter about.
