Fabio Capello's Real Madrid stints occurred 1996-1997 and 2006-2007. He won the Spanish title in his first season but was dismissed. His second return secured La Liga in 2007 before another sacking.
Marcello Lippi's Juventus career featured 1994-1999 and 2001-2004. He won three Serie A titles and a Champions League in the 1990s, later returning to lead the club to a 2003 Champions League final.
