MOSCOW, January 16, Andrey Mikhailov. Pier Filippo Capello, the son of the former coach of the Russian national football team, Fabio Capello, said that his father enjoyed the time spent in Russia.
Earlier, Capello said that the management of the Italian Roma disrespectfully treated the Portuguese Jose Mourinho, who was fired from the post of head coach of the Roman club, and recalled that something similar happened to him in Russia.
«»The quote is given more or less correctly. He liked the time spent in Russia. He loved Russian cities. He spent a lot of time in Moscow. Both he and my mother still remember those days as wonderful and happy. He loved the people, the fans, the art and culture of Russia. He had great relationships with the players and staff of the national team, as well as with the people we met in the Russian Football Union. Of course, in the end, when things did not go well, small problems arose debate, but again, he has great memories of his years working in Russia,” Capello Jr. said.
Capello led the Russian national team from 2012 to 2015. Under his leadership, the national team did not leave the group at the 2014 World Cup, gaining two points in three matches.
