If the cap fits
Conquering triumphant titles with every club
In the end he was last man standing
You have in charge a gentleman of distinction
With the most sought after habit of winning
Can anyone forget one of the great Euro duels?
Copa da Europa versus Barcelona
As the San Siro invincibles ripped to shreds Spain’s finest
Gol!, Gol!, Gol!, roared the announcer
A reviled Roma supremo who professed his love for Lazio
Fab’s the oldest ever hotseat appointment
An unnerving will to do as he pleases
Just ask Totti, Del boy, Beck’s and Ronaldo
‘Tis my last job’ he disclosed the end script
Proclaiming the close of his story
Four years of grandeur, splendour, brilliance
Will end in magnificent glory
