Fabio Capello, who became famous as manager of AC Milan during their peak in
the mid 90s, served as manager of Real Madrid for the 1996-97 season. Despite
winning the league, he left at the end of that season and at the final training
session with the players, he brought a big platter of jamon de jabugo, which he
shared with the players. In 2005 he returned to Real Madrid as trainer,
reputedly one of the things he missed most was the Jamon de Jabugo.
Jamon de Jabugo is the most expensive form of spanish serrano ham, typically
$30-40/lb bought in bulk (whole hams).
