Fabio Capello have been sacked!

Real Madrid's Italian coach Fabio Capello have been sacked inspite of winning the league after three season.

Real Madrid authority decide to sack him due to non-attacking playing style of the Italian coach.
I am very much disappointed to see this because he done a very good job from my view.

But I think the reason worked for his sacking is that his defensive mentality because Spanish Football is based mainly on attacking play and Real Madrid is one of the team who always want to attack the opposition.

Another reason could be selling David Beckham who was in top form at the end of the league.

Real Madrid board expresses support for Capello.

Real Madrid's board of directors expressed support for manager Fabio Capello on Monday, a day after the club suffered its fourth loss in six games.

The board met following Madrid's 1-0 loss to Levante, which triggered protests at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium with many in the crowd demanding Capello's resignation. The loss left Read Madrid in fourth place, five points behind league leader FC Barcelona.

"Fabio deserves all our confidence," club sport director Predrag Mijatovic said. "Capello continues as coach and things haven't changed.

"What we have to do is work harder, resolve our sport problems and trust that at the end of the year we'll be happy," added Mijatovic, who played for the club from 1996 to 1999.

Board spokesman Miguel Angel Arroyo told reporters Capello needed more time to carry out his changes.

"He is the only one capable of carrying out the renovation of Real Madrid that we all want," Arroyo said.

Madrid's loss to Levante was its first in history against the small team. Madrid was eliminated from the Copa del Rey last month, beaten by Real Betis in the fifth round.

The team has scored 28 goals in 21 league matches, its fewest in the 16 years.

Madrid was playing its 1,000th league game at the Bernabeu but first since Ronaldo completed a 7.5-million-euro (C$11.5 million) move to AC Milan on Tuesday.

Under Capello, Real Madrid also has seen David Beckham commit to transferring to the Los Angeles Galaxy after the European season is complete. Beckham watched Sunday's game from the stands.

Madrid has not won a trophy since 2003 — its longest drought since the early 1950s. Capello was hired in July as Madrid's sixth coach in three years.

Real boss criticises Beckham for signing US deal.

Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello still has not spoken to David Beckham about his decision to join LA Galaxy.

Capello is upset that Beckham signed a five-year deal before telling Real and the former England captain has been told he will not play for the club again.

Capello said: "He signed his contract before he spoke with Madrid and for me that doesn't seem right."

Beckham did not break any rules because players are free to talk to sign deals when they have less than six months left on their existing contracts.

But Capello is also concerned that Beckham is no longer committed to Real because he has a lucrative deal in the US.

He added: "I believe that if a player already has a contract elsewhere then it is not correct to count on him anymore. I still haven't spoken to him."

Beckham watched Real Madrid's game against Real Zaragoza from the private boxes on Sunday, but his team-mate Ruud van Nistelrooy revealed after the game that he is still on good terms with the squad.

Van Nistelrooy said: "Before the game he was in the dressing room, wishing us well, it was good to see. His attitude is always good, caring for the team, for the club. That's what he will keep doing.

"As players we care for each other and feel for one another if things happen that are not nice for another one. That's what I had with David.

"We try to support him, be there for him as much as we can. We can't change what has happened unfortunately."

Cassano Banned from training.

Controversial Italian forward Antonio Cassano is edging nearer the exit door at Real Madrid, according to the Spanish press who said Wednesday he had been kicked out of training by his coach Fabio Capello.

Cassano, who joined Madrid a year ago from Italians Roma, has struggled to gain a first team spot at Real.

And with Capello signing highly-rated Franco-Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain last month, Cassano's path to the first team seems to be blocked by ever more obstacles.

When asked if his arrival could hasten Cassano's departure, Higuain replied: "I have come here to win a place in the team.

Whether Cassano is here or not changes nothing." Earlier this week, Real president Ramon Calderon admitted Cassano had failed to adapt to his new surroundings.

Real Madrid to recall Middlesbrough's Woodgate.

Real Madrid are understood to be considering recalling England defender Jonathan Woodgate in January.

The central defender is currently on a season-long loan with his hometown club Middlesbrough.

"We are happy with Woodgate," said coach Fabio Capello. "He is playing very well in England at the moment."

Capello refused to rule out the prospect of bringing Woodgate back to Spain when the transfer window re-opened.

"If we come across a player that will improve the team then maybe we will consider it, but we shall see."

Luck was behind Real victory, says Capello.

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello admitted that luck played a big role in his team's 1-0 win at Valencia on Sunday.

"They had more chances than we did. We were lucky," the Italian tactician told Real's website after the game.

Skipper Raul netted the winner seven minutes into the second-half after a clever pass from Roberto Carlos as Real held on to the win at the Mestalla.

"Valencia have really pressed during the first half and we had a lot of problems dealing with their pressing intensity," he added.

Capello did however praise his team for holding their own at the Mestalla.

"It's very hard to win here; it had been a year since they (Valencia) last lost here."

He also singled out praise for goal-scorer Raul.

"He played a good game and scored the goal. Truly, the goal was a perfect piece of teamwork in attack."

The win placed Real Madrid in second place in the Primera Liga table with 26 points, three behind leaders Barcelona, but Capello kept his feet on the ground.

"There are still many games to go and many points in play in La Liga," he added.

Real allowed Beckham to go.

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has confirmed David Beckham's trip to Rome was sanctioned by the club - and that the former England captain had returned to training by Saturday morning.

Beckham travelled to Italy with wife Victoria on Friday to attend a pre-nuptial dinner with Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who married in nearby Bracciano on Saturrday.

It had initially been suggested the former England captain had defied Real in order to make the trip, while later reports declared the club had given him the green light to go.

Capello confirmed following the Primera Liga match with Racing Santander that Beckham had indeed been given permission to go to Italy.

The Italian coach also said the midfielder had been at the club's training ground that morning to continue his recovery from the knee injury which ruled him out of the Racing match.

"Beckham was in Rome with the permission of the club," said Capello.

"This morning he has been at Real Madrid City. We game him permission to travel, because the doctor said he could.

"He has not missed a single minute of his rehabilitation."

The midfielder did not attend the wedding ceremony between Cruise and Holmes, with his wife representing the couple in his absence.

Whether this whole episode will affect Beckham's future at Real Madrid remains to be seen.

He has yet to sign a new contract with Real - and with his current four-year deal running out next summer, he will be free to talk to other clubs in January.

Beckham crunch over Cruise wedding.

Real Madrid expects David Beckham to train with the team on Saturday instead of attending movie star Tom Cruise's wedding.

Beckham, who is ruled out of Saturday's league game at Racing Santander with a left knee injury, received Madrid's permission to visit Cruise and his fiancee Katie Holmes in Italy on Friday.

However, club rules insist the 31-year-old midfielder return and work on his fitness before attending the match at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, sports daily AS said.

"He's injured, he hasn't recovered and he has to train," Madrid coach Fabio Capello was quoted as saying.

Asked whether he was aware that Beckham would miss the wedding, Capello seemed unconcerned.

"That's not my problem," he said.

Speculation is mounting that Beckham's three and a half year stay with Madrid will end during the January transfer window.

The 31-year-old midfielder, whose contract ends in June, is stalling on Madrid's offer of a new deal due to his lack of first-team opportunities.

Britain's newspapers Saturday said the wedding incident increased the chances of Beckham leaving the club.

"Cruising for a bruising," read the front page headline of top-selling daily The Sun, adding that "Becks risks club row for wedding."

"Real Mad" said the Daily Mirror. Its editorial criticized Real Madrid for telling Beckham "to sit in the stand like a naughty little boy."

Beckham, who has only started three games this season, will be free to negotiate with other clubs if he hasn't renewed by January.

Speculation is rife that he could return to the English Premier League or move to a Major League Soccer club in the United States. MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy is among the clubs reportedly interested.

MLS recently changed its rules on salary caps, which would allow the former England captain to sign a lucrative deal. Beckham has a soccer academy in Los Angeles.

Beckham hasn't won a major trophy with Madrid since his arrival from Manchester United in 2003.

Victory over Dynamo essential for Real - Capello.

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello said on Monday it is essential his side take all three points from the visit of Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Having lost their opening game 2-0 against Olympique Lyon two weeks ago Real are third in Group E behind the French side and Steaua Bucharest.

'Dynamo are a dangerous side away from home. They are good on the counter with some very quick players, and effective in the air from corners,' Capello told a news conference.

'It is a very important game. It is fundamental for us. Victories bring confidence and this is vital.'

Although Real are only kept off the top of the Primera Liga table by goal difference from Barcelona, they have been criticised for their conservative football this season.

A disciplined if dull 1-0 away win over Real Betis on Saturday made it four outings unbeaten in the league.

But Capello repeated his opinion that the team he has put together need to be given time to adapt.

'It is a new team and the players are happy, motivated and working well,' he said.

'What we have achieved so far in four games in the league is good. It was just the Lyon game where we were poor in defence.

'It isn't possible to perform miracles in two months. Barcelona have had three years playing together and Valencia (third in the league) have also had more time than us.'

Capello: Ronaldo will get 30 goals for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello is backing Ronaldo to deliver on his promise of scoring 30 goals this season.

There has been speculation Capello doesn't see eye-to-eye with the Brazilian, but he insisted last night: "Ronaldo is the number one in the world, he is impressive.

"It is important we recover his best. He has said that he is going to score 30 goals and I have total confidence he is going to do it."

Asked about the boos from the home crowd during Sunday's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad, Capello said: "The public can applaud or boo. It's their right because they pay.

"The fans are always upset with one player. Before it was Raul, always with Raul, now with Emerson. I cannot let myself be guided by the opinion of others."

Capello looks to Ronaldo.

Desperate for success this season Real Madrid�s coach Fabio Capello is now turning to Ronaldo to resurrect their fortunes.

The good news for Real�s fans was the announcement that Ronaldo was due to return to action for the local derby on the 1st of October when Real take on Atletico Madrid.

Ronaldo has been out of action since the World Cup after which he underwent a knee operation.

His return is seen as a huge relief in the light of their 0 � 2 humiliation against Lyon on Wednesday night.

Former manager Arrigo Sachi said to reporters that he thought that the team is highly talented but are severely lacking in team spirit.

It is expected that the Brazilian will partner their new signing Ruud van Nistelrooy who has been in good form thus far this season.

Ronaldo has promised Real Madrid thirty goals this season.

Real Madrid's Capello: I wanted defender signing.

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello admits he wanted to sign a new centre-half before the summer transfer window shut.

"I requested a centre-half, but we did not find one," said Capello ahead of today's match against Levante. "(Jose) Reyes is another type of player, a different style.

"I wanted a defender and Reyes. Yes, we did not find the defender, but did get Reyes. They were both high-priorities. I already said the other day that we have made very good signings in just a very short time, because a team takes seven months to build."

Real Madrid fear Ronaldo-Capello blow-up.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello's No1 striker for this season.

DiarioSport says a move away for Ronaldo will be top of the agenda for Real in January after failing to offload the Brazilian before Thursday's transfer deadline.

Ronaldo isn't keen to play under Capello, while the Real coach considers Van Nistelrooy his No1 centre-forward and will only consider the Brazilian should he be injured. Real's moneymen also want to see the player's sale to balance the books.

It's reported that Real officials are nervous about the tense relationship between the pair. With four months until the winter market opens, it's said that the situation could publicly explode at any time.

Real Madrid coach Capello leaves out Cicinho.

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello refused to rule out selling Cicinho after yesterday's 0-0 draw with Villarreal.

In the morning's press yesterday, it was reported that Capello wanted to sell the Brazilian fullback after failing to be convinced about the player's defensive game.

Asked about Cicinho, Capello said last night: "I haven't said anything to him, nor to anyother player. For now, the players I am counting on are those that are here."

Capello played Michel Salgado at right-back yesterday, leaving Cicinho on the bench.

Real Madrid coach Capello meets Ronaldo.

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has met with Ronaldo for the first time since his appointment.

The pair spoke for 15 minutes at Real's main gym, where Ronaldo was training as he recovers from knee surgery.

"I trust you and you are very important for this team," Capello told Ronaldo. "But I want you at your peak and very focused.

"There is no worth to me having a 50 per cent Ronaldo."

Ronaldo replied to his new boss: "I am at my best. I have great desire to work and to train as soon as possible with the team.

"You can trust me."
