Monday Morning Trequartista: 7th March 2005
What was the world of Italian football responding to on this day 17 years ago? Here’s an espresso-like shot of nostalgia to start your week
In last week’s MMT, we saw Fabio Capello’s Roma go to Juventus in 1999-2000. This week, by a quirk of the calendar, we are now falling on the anniversary of when Capello first returned to Rome as coach of Juventus on Week 27 of 2004-2005.
A happy accident. Nevertheless, a good opportunity to bookend this curious wrinkle in the history of Serie A. That being the acrimonious Roma/Juventus rivalry that was reignited in the early years of the new millennium.
