In his illustrious journey as a coach, Fabio Capello managed some of the clubs and teams in the world. One of them had been Real Madrid. In the season 2006–07, Capello became the first manager in the history of La Liga to win two titles with a difference of 10 years between the first (1997) and second (2007), both in charge of the same club.

In an interview with Sky Sports Italia, Capello gave his opinion about the great Ronaldo O Fenomeno.

He said,

“The greatest talent I ever coached was Ronaldo. But at the same time, he was the player who created the most problems for me in the dressing room. He used to throw parties and do everything. Once Ruud Van Nistelrooy said to me ‘coach, the dressing room smells like alcohol.

Then Ronaldo went to Milan and we started to win, but if we’re talking about talent then he was the greatest, without a doubt”.

On Erling Haaland

While talking about Erling Haaland, Capello suggested that Liverpool would the ideal destination for him if he leaves Borussia Dortmund. Capello claimed that Jurgen Klopp would make Haaland an even better player.
