Capello Expects To Stay As Coach
Fabio Capello says he is likely to stay in charge of Juventus next season after guiding the Old Lady to their 29th Italian League title on Sunday.
Capello has recently been linked with a move to Internazionale this summer, but he said after the title-clinching 2-0 win over Reggina: "My future will probably be at Juventus.
"I see no reason why I should leave this club.
"I have one year left on my contract with Juve and it depends what the club decides to do."
Asked if he would be prepared continue as Juve coach if the club are demoted to the second tier of Italian football, Capello replied
"Why should we play in Serie B?
"We have to wait and see what happens with the investigations that are going on.
"I've read everything regarding tapped-telephone calls and perhaps later we may end up laughing.
"It seems as if here we judge and condemn people without knowing the facts.
"I defend the club I work for."
Juve are currently under investigation following publication of tapped phone calls from former general director Luciano Moggi with, among others, Pierluigi Pairetto whose job it was to appoint referees for specific matches.
Moggi announced his immediate resignation after Sunday's win, and earlier in the week, the entire Juventus board resigned pending the election of a new board in June.
If the Italy's most successful club are found guilty of improper conduct, they could be relegated from the top flight.
For the moment though, Capello regards that as a hypothetical situation and is more interestedin celebrating the latest Serie A championship success.
Juve finished three points clear of runners-up AC Milan, and Capello believes his players have been rewarded for two years of hard work.
"In the past two years my players have worked very hard," said Capello, who broke his silence after a month without speaking to the press.
"We have tried to give our best and we have succeeded in being 76 games at the top of the standings.
"We walked with our heads held up high before and now that we have won the Scudetto we leave with our heads held up even higher.
"This is an extraordinary group and they deserve all the praise
