Capello is new Juve boss - Official
Football Italia
Juventus have officially confirmed that their Coach for the next three seasons will be Fabio Capello as Roma’s collapse continues.
The club had been expected to name its new tactician as Didier Deschamps or Parma’s Cesare Prandelli some time this week following the departure of Marcello Lippi.
But few predicted this turn of events, as Capello had instead been linked with the post at Inter.
The official Juventus website confirmed the news this morning, adding that he had put pen to paper on a three-year contract.
Although no financial details were revealed, the Italian press maintains that Capello has accepted a pay cut to earn just over £2m per season.
This deal has been kept extremely quiet and it’s now believed that the talk of Deschamps was merely a smokescreen while Director General Luciano Moggi performed his magic behind the scenes.
It is a particularly shocking move, as Capello had only last year revealed he rejected the opportunity to take over Juventus in the past as “a lifestyle choice.”
This is the latest disastrous blow for Roma supporters, as they have already waved goodbye to Walter Samuel, Francisco Lima and Jonathan Zebina – the Frenchman also joining Juve.
Now that Capello has switched to their archrivals, it will put captain Francesco Totti’s position at the Stadio Olimpico into real doubt.
