Juventus says coach Capello resigns

ROME, July 4 (Reuters) Italian soccer champions Juventus said today their coach, Fabio Capello, had resigned.

Juve gave no other details in a brief statement on its website.

The new president of Real Madrid, Ramon Calderon, said yesterday he planned to appoint Capello coach of the Spanish team.

Juventus is at the core of a match-fixing scandal in Italy and could be relegated if a sports tribunal finds against the club.
