Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football biography Berardino Capocchiano (born 16 August 1965) is an Italian former footballer who played as a forward.

Capocchiano grew up in Italy, but moved to West Germany for personal reasons in 1987. He played for TSV Havelse and Arminia Bielefeld in Germany before transferring to Serie A club Lazio in 1991, where he appeared in 2 league matches. He subsequently played for Bari, Avellino, Chieti, Latina and Rondinella.

Playing career

Born and raised in Zapponeta,[1][2] Capacchiano began his career in Italy, playing for amateur side Carugatese.[3] He moved to West Germany in 1987 for family reasons, and signed for third-tier TSV Havelse shortly after.[4][5] He joined Arminia Bielefeld in 1989 before returning to Havelse a year later, now in the 2. Bundesliga.[5] After 14 goals in 35 league games for Havelse during the 1990–91 season,[5] Capocchiano transferred to TSV 1860 Munich for a reported fee of 140,000 Deutsche Marks in July 1991.[6] However, Capocchiano never played for 1860 Munich - he terminated his contract shortly after signing for the club in order to sign for Serie A club Lazio, whilst having reportedly told 1860 Munich that he had to go to Italy to look after his mother and sister.[6] The transfer was subject to a complaint by 1860 Munich president Helmut Schmitz to the DFB and FIFA, with Lazio paying 70,000 marks as a result in addition to the 140,000 they initially paid according to 1860 Munich.[6] The protracted nature of the transfer also left Capocchiano unavailable for Lazio until November.[4] He made his debut for the club on 4 December 1991 as a substitute against Torino in the Coppa Italia,[4] and in total made just 2 league appearances for the club.[5]

In the summer of 1992, Capocchiano signed for Serie B club Bari on a five-year contract.[2] Across the 1992–93 season, Capocchiano scored 4 goals in 21 games, whilst he failed to score in 6 appearances during the 1993–94 season, leading to criticism of his performances for the club and the nickname "Pibe de piombo" ("lead pipe") being coined for him by comedy duo Toti e Tata.[2] He subsequently had spells on loan at Avellino, where he made no appearances, and Chieti, where he scored 13 goals in 59 league games.[3][5] After leaving Bari in 1996, played for amateur sides Latina, scoring twice in 7 matches and Rondinella, scoring twice in 9 games.[2]

After football

Since his football career, Capocchiano has become an entrepreneur - he is the owner of the Coesi Group.[2] He attempted to purchase Piacenza Calcio 1919 in 2011, but later decided against the purchase given the clubs financial condition.[3]

Capocchiano also unsuccessfully ran for office as a councillor for the newly formed Province of Monza and Brianza in 2009.[2]
