Fabio Capello is no longer the Juventus Coach after he resigned on Tuesday, the club have confirmed.
“Juventus Football Club, having taken into account the decisions of Fabio Capello, have accepted his resignation and thank him for his work,” read a statement.
The tactician still had one year left on his Bianconeri contract, but has walked away with Real Madrid set to snap him up for the new campaign.
Capello, expected to be unveiled as Real boss on Thursday, flew into Juve's headquarters earlier today to rescind his contract.
The former Milan and Roma boss arrived at the club in a shock move during the summer of 2004.
He proved to be an instant hit after winning two League titles out of two by actually spending an incredible 76 weeks out of 76 at the top of the League.
Capello’s future has been cast in doubt ever since the Old Lady were embroiled in the Calciopoli scandal.
That saw the infamous Triade of Roberto Bettega, Luciano Moggi and Antonio Giraudo – Capello’s great allies – all resign from the board.
Juve are now set to appoint either Didier Deschamps, a former midfielder with the club, or Alberto Zaccheroni as new Coach.
