[7] Following a positive start to his coaching stint, with Modena finally out of the relegation play-off zone, he accepted a one-year contract extension in March 2017.
[8] On 6 November, Modena was officially excluded from the league and dissolved after failing to attended four consecutive matches due to financial irregularities; all staff were subsequently released.

[22] In his second season, in spite of a four-point deduction, Capuano guided Taranto to fourth place in the league table and made it to the promotion playoffs, eventually losing to Vicenza.
On 16 August 2024, after a number of events that led to the resignation of Taranto's chairman and a complete shakeup of the squad and board of directors due to financial issues, Capuano and his assistant Cosimo Zangla were sacked from their posts.
[23] Just a month later, on 27 September 2024, Capuano signed a contract until the end of the season with Foggia, thus returning in charge of the Satanelli four years after his previous experience with the club.
[24] His second stint at Foggia lasted however only one month, as Capuano tended his resignations on 27 October 2024 immediately after a shocking 1–2 injury time loss to Sorrento, formally confirming them the next day.
