Capello issues Real threat Friday 25 November, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fabio Capello has opened the door for a possible return to Real Madrid, by saying that his future depends on whether certain individuals remain at Juventus.
Capello laughed off suggestions of a move back to the Spanish giants earlier in the week, by repeating his theory that a Coach should never go back to his old club.
However, he has since suggested that a move to Real is not out of the question and that his future in Turin depends on that of the Juventus 'Triade’.
The 'Triade’ are the three power brokers who effectively run the club – director of finance Antonio Giraudo, general director Luciano Moggi and Vice-President Roberto Bettega.
Giraudo’s financial expertise has turned the Bianconeri into one of the most profitable football clubs in the world, Moggi is probably the most powerful transfer fixer in Europe and former Italy star Bettega is an important figurehead who reflects the club’s ongoing success.
After 12 successful years at the helm, there is now talk that the 'Triade' may be about to break up. Giraudo has been linked with a move to Milan, while it has been suggested Moggi may join Roma seeing as both their contracts expire in 2006.
Capello attributes a large part of his Juve’s current success to his working relationship with the trio and has suggested that if they go, then he will go too.
"My relationship with Moggi, Bettega and Giraudo is special," he said in an interview with La Stampa.
"We have always respected each other and with time this respect has become friendship. If they left then I would have to reflect long and hard about my future."
This is Capello’s most forthright interview yet concerning his future and the inner workings of Italy’s most successful club. The suggestion that he might yet return to Real Madrid is sure to set the alarm bells ringing within the corridors of the Stadio Delle Alpi.
"Returning to an old club as Coach is a mistake," added Don Fabio. "When I returned to Milan in 1997 it went badly.
"But a switch to Madrid would be different because everything there has changed - from the club to the players. Only Guti, Roberto Carlos and Raul are still there from when I was in charge."
IF HE GOES THERES NO CHANCE OF CASSANO!
