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.
Born and raised in Zapponeta, [2] [3] Capacchiano began his career in Italy, playing for amateur side Carugatese. [4] He moved to West Germany in 1987 for family reasons, and signed for third-tier TSV Havelse shortly after. [5] [6] He joined Arminia Bielefeld in 1989 before returning to Havelse a year later, now in the 2. Bundesliga. [6] After 14 goals in 35 league games for Havelse during the 1990–91 season, [6] Capocchiano transferred to TSV 1860 Munich for a reported fee of 140,000 Deutsche Marks in July 1991. [7] 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. [7] 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. [7] The protracted nature of the transfer also left Capocchiano unavailable for Lazio until November. [5] He made his debut for the club on 4 December 1991 as a substitute against Torino in the Coppa Italia, [5] and in total made just 2 league appearances for the club. [6]
In the summer of 1992, Capocchiano signed for Serie B club Bari on a five-year contract. [3] 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. [3] He subsequently had spells on loan at Avellino, where he made no appearances, and Chieti, where he scored 13 goals in 59 league games. [4] [6] After leaving Bari in 1996, played for amateur sides Latina, scoring twice in 7 matches and Rondinella, scoring twice in 9 games. [3]
Since his football career, Capocchiano has become an entrepreneur - he is the owner of the Coesi Group. [3] He attempted to purchase Piacenza Calcio 1919 in 2011, but later decided against the purchase given the clubs financial condition. [4]
Capocchiano also unsuccessfully ran for office as a councillor for the newly formed Province of Monza and Brianza in 2009. [3]
