Fabio Capello, who recently extended his contract with Italian football

Fabio Capello, who recently extended his contract with the Italian football club Roma until 2005 (the coach will receive $3.4 million a year), said that upon expiration of the agreement he intends to end his coaching career. “Three more years and that’s it, I’m completely fed up with football,” said the coach. “After that I don’t want to work with any team. Even with the Italian national team - I especially don’t want to get involved with them.” Mr. Capello did not specify what he intends to do after 2005, noting that it will be an active activity not related to coaching.
Meanwhile, one of the team's best strikers, Vincenzo Montella, also extended his contract with the Roman club. Previously, he said more than once that he would like to change the team, since his relationship with Mr. Capello has not been going well for a long time. However, the offer that the 27-year-old football player received from the club’s management turned out to be so tempting that he could not refuse it: Vincenzo Montella was offered a contract until 2006 for a total amount of $29 million.
