Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello will be fined for his rude gestures towards two of the clubs fans at the end of Sundays 1-0 win over Real Zaragoza, the Primera Liga side said on Tuesday.

"In order to determine the size of the fine according to the clubs internal disciplinary regime, the sporting staff will take into account the coachs explanations ... and the regret he has expressed for his unfortunate gesture," read a statement on the clubs Web site (www.realmadrid.com).

Capello apologised for twice raising his middle finger towards some fans sitting in the stands near the dugout as he left the pitch at the end of Sundays game at the Bernabeu.

"Since the first day I arrived there have been two people behind the bench who have continually offended me, and today it went too far," Capello said in the post-match news conference.

"They are the same ones that were here 10 years ago, but I shouldnt have done what I did."
