Compared to Lippi, Capello was crap.

From every perspective.
even our 2 titles we won with him are those of Calciopoli..
its like his time with us was cursed.

a fallen Lippi's white hair while on the ground >>>>>> Capello's entire in every perspective

Come on there isnt much between Lippi and Capello.

Allegri is definitely on the right track with two CL finals already this early in his career, but obviously he has some way to go to reach the heights of those two.
Capello with the squad he had and the way Juve were playing and the teams that knocked Juve out of CL, he was/is faaaaar very faaaaar away behind Lippi.

Lippi: 19 Trophies
Capello 15 Trophies

Im counting all the supercoppas etc as well.

This is considering that Lippi has been a runner up 10 times (be it second in league or finals).

Globally, Lippi is so underrated.

I think what gives Lippi the edge is that hes a far better man manager, unlike Capello who eventualky creates a toxic environment almost everywhere he goes.

But the guy has an amazing record. His Milan team was one of the best, his two liga titles with Real and his title with Roma especially were huge achievements.
I like to compare Capello to Guardiola.

Both are coaches which were given ridiculous idiotic amounts of talent to work with. Both will deliver if among that ridiculously idiotic amount of talent has the type of player they require.
Both are also unfairly labeled to be versatile, whilst their downfall proves the opposite.

Capello is known to be that ultrastrict defensive coach who'd invite the opponent and completely cancel their creativity. Not by aggressive pressing, but by organisation and positionning and forcing errors. He was also the guy with the strict offensive patterns. (conte is similar in a way, just notTHAT strict).

He was gifted a defence of Baresi, Maldini, Tassotti and Costacuerta. Best defence in history. Exact style he'd want. Midfield with Albertini, Donadoni, Ancelotti and Rijkaard. Thats 4 tactical geniusses and Albertini has ridiculous playmaking ability (passing mostly) on top of his legendary defensive ability. Van basten as a forward.



Thats exactly like Guardiola wanting to play tiki taki and look, it has Xavi prime, Iniesta prime, busquets to handle it, Alves, pique and curlyhair behind it and Messi with some lads in front. Fitted him similarly.



But zach, capello went to madrid, surely madrid isnt that strict defensive organised powerhouse, with exceptional organisatory and defensive players who ridiculously also had insane offensive abilities ?


Nope. Defence had Hierro and Sanchis. Ze roberto and Roberto fucking carlos. Midfield ? Redondo prime baby (best cm in history). How about seedorf prime, who'd go to be a keyplayer in 4 CL trophee's for 4 different teams ? Not to mention suker raul and mijatovic(we now that guy) in front.
Again, a team with less defensive ability then milan, but the players capello needs. Didnt win a trophee cause even better sides in europe at that point.



How about roma ?

Yea. Crappy team which had : Samuel prime, Cafu, candela, Emerson prime, Totti hitting his prime, montela (easily forgotten) and Batistuta (many forget how great he was)


How about juve ?

Most balanced team in the world. Yet couldnt adapt to fastpaced english styles going around his organisation.


Capello is a great coach when given the players he requires. And if the talent is insane, he'll win trophee's.



He couldnt adapt his approach. Same with guardiola. Give him his players and he'll do well. Give him exceptional and he'll win stuff. Give him not what he exactly wants, and he wont win.

Yes and because they got the most followers around the world, its exactly why the global opinion tends to sway in whatever they think or say.
Not global, it's their local opinion that sways their decisions. It's their local commentators, pundits and papers that do that.

Of course its a local opinion, it has to stem from somewhere.
Anyway it influences the majority. This could be fans and media outlets in countries like US, to scandanavia i.e across the globe.

I don't know why I'm even talking about this. It doesn't matter at all.
