Fabio Capello resigned on Tuesday from his post as Juventus coach after two years on the job, the Serie A champions announced on their official website. "Juventus football club have accepted the resignation of Fabio Capello, in accordance with his wishes and we thank him for the work he has done over the past two years," a Juventus statement read. Capello took over as Juventus coach replacing Marcello Lippi in 2004, and the former Milan, Real Madrid and Roma boss had an immediate impact winning two league titles for the Old Lady. Doubts have surfaced over Capello's future with the Bianconeri following the club's involvement in the match-fixing scandal that rocked Italian football.
newly-elected Real Madrid president Roman Calderon The announcement comes only one day after newly-elected Real Madrid president Roman Calderon announced that Capello, who guided Los Meringues to the league title in 1997, would be presented as the club's coach later in the week. "I hope to officially unveil Capello in a couple of days, he's now in Turin to resolve his contractual situation and he shall have no problems in leaving Juventus," Calderon was quoted as saying by Football Italia magazine. "He will be here on Tuesday at the earliest and Thursday at the latest to start working on forming a new team," the new Real president added. Calderon is looking to build a new Real team around Capello, adding that he'll be looking to enforce the club with fresh young stars like Dutch winger Arjen Robben, Brazilian playmaker Kaka and Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas. Former Juventus midfielder Didier Deschamps as well as former Milan boss Alberto Zaccheroni are both frontrunners to succeed Capello at Juventus with all decisions stalled at the Italian club till they find out their fate for next season.
