Fabio Capello is one of the most well-respected coaches in football history and, perhaps unsurprisingly, his best XI is full of world-class players.
The 72-year-old has coached illustrious club sides such as AC Milan, Real Madrid, Juventus and Roma, as well as the English and Russian national teams, while his most recent coaching experience came with Jiangsu Suning in China.
Capello has overseen 846 games as a coach and has led many outstanding footballers, yet Corriere della Sport gave the Italian the difficult task of choosing a best XI of players he has coached.
In goal, he opted for former Juventus stopper Gianluigi Buffon. The back four that he selected included Cafu, Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini and Roberto Carlos. Capello worked with Cafu and Roberto Carlos at Roma and Real Madrid respectively, while he coincided with Baresi and Maldini at Milan.
Capello went for a midfield trio of Fernando Redondo, Ruud Gullit and Dejan Savicevic, with the Italian having coached Gullit and Savicevic during his time at Milan, while Redondo was during his first spell with Madrid.
The front three had former Milan forward Marco van Basten accompanied by two former Madrid players in Ronaldo Nazario and Raul Gonzalez. Such was his talent, Capello made sure to have one substitute: former Roma legend Francesco Totti.
