1999 Fabio Capello became the head coach in Roma. They won the scudetto 2001 witch was Romas first big win in a decade. He had some god years on the field with th team but he was in many of arguments with fans and players. He later moved on to manage Juventus.

Fabio Capello led the club to victory in the Spanish league at his first year at the club. David Beckham also played at the club at the time. Capello was fired son after the win because he and the club president hadn’t the same view on how to play soccer.
