Fabio Capello is lapidary on Roberto Mancini: “He made a very serious mistake.”

Fabio Capello doesn’t go soft on Roberto Mancini

During an intervention at the microphones of "Radio Anch'io Sport", former Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello è bluntly expressed himself on the decision and motivations that prompted Roberto Mancini to leave the Italian national team for Saudi Arabia.

"Mancini made a very serious mistake, he blamed the president of the federation by saying that he no longer felt confidence, when in fact he would have made a better impression in informing the president that he had received an irrenounceable offer and his intention to want to accept it. He è grasped at straws by accusing Gravina and the FIGC of changing his staff" began the former England coach.

"I am happy because we needed someone a little bit crazy and Luciano è the right person to coach this national team. The excitement è great and the desire just as much, being an inspired coach who knows where to take his teams I think it was a beautiful choice by President Gravina" added the former Roma coach about the arrival of his Tuscan colleague as the new coach.

In conclusion, Fabio Capello è dwelt on the start of the season of the Italian Champion Napoli: "Napoli does not play anymore; like last year, it does less pressing and has less desire. It has lost determination. It lacks Kim, but above all the midfield filter, something that never happened last season. It seems to me that he turns the ball over more slowly. It needs to pick up where it did last year and that will depend on both the coach but also the players".
