Italo Galbiati, Fabio Capello’s historic deputy dead – Calcio

Goodbye to Italo Galbiati. The historic deputy of died at the age of 85 Fabio Capello. Born in Milan on 8 August 1937, Galbiati began his career as a player at Inter in the 1958-59 season, earning just one appearance in the Fairs Cup. In 1960 he moved to Lecco where he remained for six seasons making his debut in Serie A and putting together 146 appearances and 5 goals, he ended his career in 1967 in Como.

Hanging up his boots, in the 70s he was manager in the youth sector of Inter for which he discovered Walter Zenga. Then the move to Milan where he remained for a decade and was also briefly coach at first (in 1981, then in 1982, replacing Gigi Radice from the 17th matchday of the 1981-1982 championship, and in 1984, replacing from the 25th matchday of the 1983 championship -1984 Ilario Castagner). In the Rossoneri, however, he is remembered above all as Capello’s deputy and followed the Friulian coach in his subsequent adventures at Roma, led in 2001 to what so far remains the last Giallorossi championship, at Juventus and Real Madrid. And then the England and Russia national teams, until he went back on his own to coach in the Monza youth team.
